Hopangle Double IPA
Little Willow Brewing Company

This is a collaboration with 7 Saws and Wormtown Breweries.

Milkshake cloudiness with a dirty gold to amber color. It looks like apricot juice. Minor head which recedes to the most minute of rim bubbles. No lacing at all on the glass.

Strong weedy aroma with a biting grapefruit rind. The malt is hard to pick up in the nose.

Lightly sweet with plum flavor. There's also a minor alcohol warming element. The body leans thin for the style but the carbonation is lighter bringing the mouthfeel good balance. The hop remains the story, but the taste is more straight up bitterness reminiscent of black pepper. It's not overpowering, but it isn't balanced either. The finish sits firmly between the two leaving a decently long aftertaste.
