Tallest Tiptoes
Post & Beam Brewing

From a 64oz growler, filled at the brewery this afternoon. Served in an IPA glass.

Pours a crystal-clear, glowing gold with two-plus fingers of whipped, white, merengue-like froth. Retention is good, leaving a heavy, tattered curtain of bubbly lacing.

Aroma is caramel sweet, rich and robust. Sweet orange and caramel creams.

Taste is approximately in line with the nose, resinous and oily, orange peel and caramel, tree leaf and pine pitch. Bitterness dial is set to medium-plus with just a little sugary residual sweetness. A hint of damp, mouldering grain and butane going into the finish which is unfortunate but not awful.

Feel is thick and meaty, medium-hefty bodied and brightly carbonated. Clean, satisfying, and super-drinkable given its heft.

Overall, a well-executed classically old-school DIPA. Resinous, oily and satisfyingly bitter.
