I Voted Today
Interboro Spirits and Ales

Pours a hazy orange color. An extraordinarily large creamy white head takes a while to dissipate. There is lacing.

The aroma is quite fruity and floral as it opens with tropical notes of mango, pineapple and stone fruit notes of peach. Citrusy aromas evoke lime and oranges and pair with spicy and increasingly dank notes of grass and pine.

A malt base of graham cracker, creamy wheat and oats oats supports soft tropical fruit. The palate opens semi dry and not particularly sweet. Yet, as juicy flavors of peach, apricot, mango and papaya open up, so too do the spicy and herbal notes. Not particularly bitter at first, the drink becomes spicier as sharp notes of grass, pine and peppery hops interact with zesty notes of lime and grapefruit pith.

Medium bodied with a smooth, semi dry and peppery finish that contains a lingering but easy going bitterness. The mouthfeel is soft, smooth and creamy. The carbonation is moderate to gentle.

Solid IPA from Interboro. It started off rather simply but really great into itself.

Seems like the “I Voted Today” sticker is the item of the moment right now and this dry and fruity beer was a perfect pairing for the voting frenzy that’s still going on right now! While there wasn't anything particularly memorable to be had here, this was a fine brew that checked off all the proverbial boxes as there wasn't anything inherently wrong with it from top to bottom.

This had a pretty typical pour for it for an Interboro offering as it had a hazy goldenrod hue to it with enough head topping it off, with bubbles of uneven size in it. The lacing was uneven, thin, and concentrated along the top half most of the suds slid down the side of my pint glass. Lots of white peach and nectarine, in the nose as those flavors were a bit more pronounced in the taste to go as the complemented the wheat quite nicely. Hard to detect the soda that was in this beer's description as the grapefruit was in the background, along with some earthy hop burn, slick citrus, outdoorsy dank, and light hints of weed and spicy bread. The latter was indicative of the basic malt that was in this as the aftertaste was lightly brisk and needed a chaser of water to get the burn completely down.

The amount of alcohol in this was prefect as it was on par with everything else going on and made this beer nearly the ideal session brew. Enough carbonation was here to keep this light but this never felt watered-down or gimmicky, Dated 10/15 on the bottom of the can with "I VOTED, DID YOU?" written above it, this was what I'd expect from a collaboration between Interboro and Tired Hands. Kick back with this and maybe a few more, as this would easily hold one over what is bound to be a long process of figuring out who our next Commander-In-Chief is going to be...
