You Are The Brut Squad
Royal Docks Brewing Company

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/16/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a small fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, red apple, berries, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, red apple, berries, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, red apple, berries, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent brut IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and crisp to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Feels like Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, El Dorado. Very vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a solid pale malt backbone. No residual sweetness from crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well executed style example.
