ZFG: Grand Daddy Purps
Mason Ale Works

 

apparently a zero ibu ipa from these guys, really tasty stuff. i have been seeing their beers around denver more and more, and this is quite different, better than a lot of other all dry hopped examples of the style, they really did a nice job with it. mostly clear, at least not as hazy as is trendy right now. airy headed, and with an amazing hop complexion, incredibly fresh and unique, juicy but not like what everyone else is doing here, the mix of varietals is amazing, very southern hemisphere to me, fruity without being citrusy, i get ripe strawberries, honey, mango, lemongrass and tea, papaya and red apple and all kind of stuff, very summery and tropical, even a coconut note to it, very pleasant beer, not as dry as it could be, and not as interesting on the grain side of things, but i like the way it all comes together. drinkable like crazy because the bitterness is so low, its softly carbonated and lightly oily, and it warms up well. killer ipa overall, a bit of a different take on the style, they nailed this. ill pick up some more mason beers for sure after how good this was!
