Attention Please! - DDH W/ Citra
Bearded Iris Brewing

 

 

 

Thanks to Buck89 for another Bearded Iris gem.
Canned "7/23/19 Suddenly...I was awake"
Pours turbid, yellow, and pushing up an assertive clumpy head. Off white with solid retention for the first few minutes. Less lacing than expected, being scattered and light.
Smell is boldly tropical initially. Then some nice bright citrus notes come in, followed by some wet grainy notes. finally heads in a slightly herbal to jasmine direction.
Flavor is no shrinking violet. Again, bold tropical flavors leap forward but mix with citrus and herbal, almost peppery notes. Cracker malt sustains all. But the melange of lemon zest, grapefruit, overripe pineapple, slight onion, and bittering notes are eventually tamed a tad by some mango and melon. A lot going on.
Mouthfeel is pillowy (as stated on the can). Active carbonation.
Overall, I might prefer it a tad toned down on the herbal and onion if I were going to drink a few. But a solid DIPA.
