Stare at the Sun
Autodidact Beer

 

On draught at the brewery. It's an almost clear, grassy yellow color with a full finger cap of bright white foam and thick, clinging lacing. A modest nose with lite lemon and grapefruit and just a whiff of sweeter, tropical fruit. The taste opens with tart citrus over a thin cracker malt base. As it warms there are subtle notes of grass, peach, berry and white wine. It's quite mellow with virtually no bitterness. Its mouth feel is crisp with appropriate carbonation and it drinks easily at 6.5% ABV. Overall, this IPA is almost sessionable but it suffers by comparison to Autodidact's other IPAs. Sometimes collaborations just don't work out.
