Dare Mighty Things - "Daretoberfest"
The Brewing Projekt

I have no idea what this beer is about as their website is terrible for giving information on beers. Guessing an IPA/Oktoberfest hybrid with new wave German hops.

L-Looks hazy IPA rather than clean ofest.

S-Big notes of strawberries and melons....very fragrant...very fresh...hints of oranges as well..

T-Definitely the same notes of strawberries and melons but less assertive...white grapes are strong here as well and the citrus is more noticeable but not overbearing. Malt backing feels hazy IPAish.

F-Medium bodied...smooth and creamy texture.

O-I really like the unique white grape, melon and strawberries impressions. Not grabbing much of the oktoberfest angle to this. Perhaps its there in the malt but it is so overridden by the hops it is tough to tell. Regardless.....tasty beer as always from this place. Now if they could just put a little more effort into their website information on their beers.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 11, 2018. Brewed with Mandarina, Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc and Hull Melon hops. Interesting concept that is definitely worth a try.

 

Tan, massively hazy appearance with a nice white head that laces well. Reticent nose that just doesn't give up much - maybe some apple, pear and grain. Taste is nicely expressive and much drier than other Dare Mighty Things offerings. It almost comes across as a classic West Coast IPA with its nicely bitter spice, earth and sweet melon. Feel is rich and creamy as you'd expect. This is a very unique offering given the mix of hops - Mandarina, Barvaria, Hallertau Blanc and Hull Melon. But for some reason it works quite well.
