What is extremely lovely?

If you were given a description of a enjoyable beer named after a popular game show and had to give your response in the form of a question, the above would easily suffice for this. Right before I went away in late April, I traded for this and was hoping that my attempt to get on Jeopardy! that I made last year would finally pay off.

Indeed, they have yet to contact me but I was able to enjoy this while wondering if I'd have to reapply later this year. This was so good that it made forget that I should have tried out years ago, as it was another stellar offering from Tin Barn that did not last in my glass for very long.

Like quite a few New England IPA beers that I've reviewed on here, this was a muted gold with a fluffy and fully had and tons of soapy lacing left behind. That was in the form of slanted and layered rings with quite a few spots seeping down from each one as the aroma was also deep. Citrus pith, tropical hops, a bit of swamp water, exotic fruit, and white chocolate sweetness filled the nose as the taste was full of Moutere from start to finish. A bit of pine and more dewy forest took hold as this warmed up as this was juicy, full-bodied, and spot-on when it came to the bubbles. Lots of fresh-squeezed juice stuck on my palate afterwards with just a hint of burn in the back that had me wanting another can.

It was nearly impossible to detect the alcohol as this warmed me up a bit, but not enough to make me regret having it on a warm summer's day. Dated 3/11 on the bottom of the can with "TREBEK TRIBUTE" (RIP Alex) written above it, this was just as pleasurable as an old-school episode of the show. Maybe Ken Jennings or Mayim Bialik needs to have a can or two of this before their next gig hosting, as it would make the show as fun as this beer was. This was another winner from Tin Barn that readily impressed me!
