Queensbridge IPA - Double dry hopped
Big aLICe Brewing Finger Lakes

 

 

 

 

Brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops, double dry hopped with Ekuanot, Idaho 7, and Denali... Name references the Queensboro Bridge (59th Street Bridge, connecting Manhattan to Long Island City)... Medium-pale gold body is essentially clear... Coupla fingers of ivory foam provide lacing down the glass... East Coast stylings aside, this beer has a nice shellac of pine and resin to compliment the fruity hop impressions - those dry-hop hops really balance out anything that might've gone too sweet or fruity, making this a more earthy, rustic, dank, and chewy brew than other East Coast beers... Smooth and only mildly carbonated, the bitterness is moderate while the sweetness is subdued... Really digging it, even though its probably nothing special per se... No canning date, but presumably only a week or so old...

Tall can, purchased at the source yesterday...6/5/18 canning date

Pours with a light haze, typical almond amber, leaves just a smidge of fine lacing.

On the nose its resiny hops and some ripe dark fruits.

Double dry hopped version, on the old school East Coast side of the IPA spectrum... comes in with resiny, dank and drying hops in control...
