Dang, Granny is billed as an ultra-hopped speciality beer. Pivotal doesn't really categorize it, but it's a super-hazy NEIPA.
I enjoy and appreciate most of Pivotal's offerings. For a new brewery they have done an incredible job of coming up with an extensive array of beers in any different styles, most of which are exceptional (the NATO Dubbel is as good as anything I've had form Belgium). Most people will like Dang, Granny. I'm in the minority who does not.
On draft at the Pivotal Brewery.
Appearance is mega-hazy NEIPA. Opaque, hay colored yellow, moderate head. It looks like a juice bomb.
Smell is complex fruity, stone fruit, tangerine, guava, grapefruit, citrus, lime. Pivotal says gooseberry, but I've never smelled a gooseberry so I don't know what its like. The smell is classic juice bomb, like a Widowmaker Blue Comet.
Taste is... not what I expected. I was expecting a totally dry hopped juice bomb. The citrus flavors are forward, followed rapidly by IPA bitterness. Tastes to me like this was both dry and wet hopped. The bitterness lingers for a long time, for me an hour after drinking.
The feel is slightly acidic/astringent. Not bad, but not what I was expecting of a juice bomb.
Overall, if you want DIPA bitterness with more citrus forward, you should love this. If you want a total dry-hopped juice bomb, I don't think this is it.
