On the first day of Christmas, Mile Wide sent to me... A Major Award! It may not rhyme, but it's music to the tastebuds as a "holiday" IPA is laced with Chinook hops and an old school mindset that's firmly about bitterness, woodsy spice and dryness.
Pouring with a foggy golden haze, A Major Award builds a tall ivory lather that spews a host of spicy, herbal, grassy, citrusy and sprucy botanicals. A light granola sweetness is cast in faint honey and toasted nuttiness as the ale graces the early palate.
Then any attention given to the malt is quickly rendered to a supportive role as the middle palate is all about the hops. The true sprucy hops are all about the evergreen taste followed by white grapefruit, fresh grass clippings and an eventual spice of eucalyptus which all precedes a peppery bitterness laced with pine resins to finish the show with a serious bitter balance.
Medium light in body, the true resinous nature of the Chinook hops ensures a dry and spicy finish along with a long and sprucy aftertaste of mulled pine needles, gin-like booziness and an overcoming revelation that you just might have drank a Christmas tree.
