You're All I Need - Idaho 7
Interboro Spirits and Ales

Well, it finally happened. After a CANcerted effort on my part, The CANQuest (tm) has now exhausted its backlog of Interboro CANlaboration CANs! No problem, though, as there is still a huge backlog to run through, including Interboro-only beers, CANtinuing with this one. Onwards!

From the CAN: "Double Dry Hopped Double India Pale Ale"; "Come Visit Us and Our Tasting Room".

I was very curious about this one, even before the Crack!ing open of the vent. Was it yet CANother Hazebro? A S.M.A.S.H.? What would the future bring? I CANmenced a slow, gentle C-Line Glug in order to find out, but my desire for clarity was futile. I then simply allowed it to flow freely into the awaiting glass. I was rewarded with the formation of two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, soapy, tawny head with very good retention. Color was a deeply-hazy/lightly-cloudy Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5). Nose smelled fruity - mango, papaya & peach, apricot with a cool pine mintiness. Mmm. Mouthfeel was medium-to-full, not quite creamy, but on the approach. The taste beCAN with a peach-papaya sweetness, but then got overtaken with a pine mintiness & black peppery spiciness. Wow! As it warmed, the flavors really beCAN to meld together into a cool, spicy, fruity beer that was unique in my exbeerience. I am sure that I have had beers with Idaho 7 before, but never by itself. Finish was cool, spicy & dry, just the way that I prefer. YMMV.
