Kickin’ it Back
Brü Daddy's Brewing Company

 

Actually sitting in the Bru Daddy brewpub in Allentown, PA.. pours a amber brown, and the initial smell is hoppy..it's a West Coast IPA, with a sweet bite, and dry finish
.had just had their Grand Daddy Haze, but this one has its own mellowed pop.

 

 

On tap.

A - Medium gold pour with light carbonation and thin lacing.

S - Light citrus and melon on the nose.

T - Citrus, light herbal, and some pine mixed in with light residual citrus. There's a little bit of cloying sweetness on the aftertaste.

M - Mouthfeel is on the thin side.

O -Glad to have tried, one time is enough.

 

 

With the contents of a pint can completely emptied into a clear glass liter mug, a lovely copper-amber liquid is observed. It's bright and relatively translucent. The very modest, even at room temperature, just-off-white head, is barely noticed, above. The aroma is hoppy, maybe in a piney way, but it's faint and there's not much more. The taste is hoppy, almost in a piney/resinous way, but until a nice bite through the finish, it's rather modest. The finish does rescue this. There's just enough malt to provide a reasonable body and add some earthiness and needed complex sweetness to the taste. Overall, it eventually provides a West Coast IPA bite, delivered in a good malt backing. It may seem a little light across the tongue, but that makes it even more drinkable. Much like the 7.5% ABV, there's very little glass lacing to notice. Auxiliary characteristics aside, this becomes a very commendable WCIPA.
