2 Years With Dr. Nandu
Aeronaut Brewing Company

 

 

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a golden burnt orange color with a sly transparency about it. Ever so slight carbonation could be seen rising to fill a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipates quickly. Messy clingy lace roams around the glass. The aroma starts with a blend of sweet caramel malt cleanly flowing into some clean resinous to citrusy hops. Full and bittersweet, well blended. A touch of honey at the end. The flavor blends these malts to hops very nicely. Some honey, malts, and bitterness from the hops in the aftertaste. Some biscuits. Honey finishes it off. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sipping to sessionable sort of feel laying across my tongue. Mild carbonation. Overall, this is good, somewhat of a West coast styled, maybe sort of old school DIPA. Could definitely see myself coming back to only when fresh.

 

 

 

AERONAUT 2 YEARS WITH DR. NANDU DIPA 1/5/17

A newer in state brewer who now distributes in cans across the state.

Poured from the 16 oz. can into a Lawson's stemmed tulip.

a: Clear amber with an inch thick white head which receded to thick surface foam and dense lacing.

s: Pine resin and caramel malt

t: Resin with strength forward over a caramel malt base which lingers. Mainly dry finish.

m: Medium, very good body and carbonation tingle.

o: A bit surprising to find a DIPA with such a strong caramel malt undertone, which seems to mute most of the possible hop flavor. Sort of an English style DIPA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden Orange in color. Fairly clear. Looks like it would be a malt bomb. Ahh. So good. Tropical fruit, mango, papaya and pineapple. Juicy. Malt is in the way back. Yum.
