I'm not drinking a craft IPA at the moment but I've had them in the past and they are pretty good. Currently drinking a Shipyard Summer (kinda cheating because I'm using a Heineken koozie) Who else is drinking on this beautiful July 5th? I'm assuming it's as nice across the world as it is in New England

Skeleton Ape posted:Good there's some other trends like ciders and such but those are still mostly just offshoot tandems. sours are def an acquired taste. i thought they tasted like lovely kombucha the first time i tried them but now i rather like them. pretty loving rare to find though. anderson valley had some pretty tasty ones. i'd guess ~authentic carribean style rum~ is likely going to be spirit of choice but who knows. and facial hair was soooo last year

IPA is garbage beer that was only invented because British soldiers had to drink something other than Ganges poo poo-water and the brewers figured they'd hop the everloving poo poo out of the swill they sent over so it would either not spoil or taste so godawful you didn't know it was spoiled but it was still better than Ganges poo poo-water.

So what's better? Malty sweet beer because you can't stand bitter flavor like a child?

I had a bunch of Starr Hill's Grateful Pale Ale the other night, might be a new favorite of mine tbh Their Northern Lights is good too. If you were looking for reccs there you go edit: oh they're APAs though I hope that's okay

Beer snobs I know say that the progression is IPA -> Sour -> Russian Imperial -> Barley Wine Except barley wine tastes like jam and russian imperial is loving undrinkable in the summer. bourbon it is.

"Fantasy Factory" BOTTLE: Brown glass. Branded green pry-off pressure cap. Boasts some of the best label art I've ever seen. Acquired: via trade with Duff27. Thanks, man! Reviewed live at low altitude in Austin, TX. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated. Vintage: 2015. ABV: 6.3% ABV. Style: IPA (per the label). Serving Temp: Cold. Serving vessel: Pilsner glass. Expectations: High. I was pleasantly surprised with Silk Scorpion. No bubble show forms as it's poured. HEAD: ~1 inch wide. Off-white colour. Nice creamy thick consistency. Even-keeled, soft-looking, and aptly frothy for the style. Leaves a light ring of lacing as it recedes. Retention: ~4-5 minutes. Pretty good for the style. BODY: Striking, with an unusual haziness suggestive of hop oils. Translucent transparent yellow-copper of below average vibrance. No yeast particles or hop sediment is visible, but I wouldn't call it a clean appearance. Appears well-carbonated, with a body indicative of a lack of filtration. AROMA: Pale malts, biscuit malt, graham cracker, clean barley. The malts seem nicely in step with the hop profile, which is comprised of dank resins, pleasant floral character, and some tropical fruit (primarily mango and tangerine). Given the tropical leanings, I suspect new world hop varieties were used (I'm not great at guessing, but maybe mosaic, galaxy, or the like). No yeast character, booze, or off-notes are detectable. Aromatic intensity: above average. Suggests a sticky coating brew with a rough-around-the-edges balance and a ripe taste. TASTE: The pale malt backbone is bolstered by some English leaning biscuit malt as well as a dab of caramalt and some pleasant graham cracker character on the fringe. The hop profile is dominated by tropical fruit: mango, tangerine, maybe a bit of pineapple (which is a note I usually despise in beer, but it doesn't bother me here). Resinous, with touches of dank herbal character. It's a biteen candied, which doesn't do it any favours. In spite of the tangerine, I'm reticent to call this citrusy; there aren't juicy fruity bursts of orange or grapefruit. It has some floral character, of course, but it's secondary to the ripe tropical fruit. As it comes to temperature, I pick up on some faint pith, but no real fruit peel. A kiss of bitter rind, sure. Depth of flavour: Average. Flavour duration: Average. Flavour intensity: Average, though notable considering its scant 6.30% ABV. Flavour amplitude: Nice. It's a decently balanced brew, but isn't quite dialed in; there's not a harmony of malts to hops, and I find it a bit too sweet. It's complex for its modest ABV, but sure there are far more intricate IPAs out there. No yeast character or off-notes come through, though the alcohol is far more noticeable than it should be. Constructively, I'd like to see them tone down the sweetness (starting with removing the candied element and some caramalt) and play up the fruit. The pineapple needs to go, and some flaked malts would leaven the body appropriately. TEXTURE: Chewy, slightly oily, medium-bodied, and a touch too thick. Smooth and wet enough to be refreshing without going full-out slick and reducing flavour duration. Overcarbonated. Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy. This mouthfeel complements the taste well enough, but doesn't feel custom-tailored specifically to the flavour profile and fails to elevate the beer. No notes are accentuated, aside from maybe the mild hop oil flavour. A cleaner, lighter body would provide more effective delivery of flavour. OVERALL: Drinkable though this is, the discerning drinker will be unimpressed. It's a nice IPA from Wisconsin and I'm glad I got to try it, but the wide availability of superior offerings will make this a brew I don't intend to revisit. Far from world-class, but it's clearly an inspired brew, and won't disappoint. Huge thanks to Duff27 for the bottle! C+ (3.16)
