Ska Modus Hoperandi India Pale Ale

American IPA

Ska, Durango, Colorado, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 94

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 6.8% | IBU’s. 65 // THE NOSE: Cedar, Basil, Beer Gravy, Musty Attic, Boiled Cabbage // THE TASTE: Rye Bread, Sage, Savory, Lime Juice, Kale, Steamed Spinach // THE BOTTOMLINE: Bitter to its hopped-up heart, this exponentially herbaceous hop bomb strides confidently across the palate spreading some of the richest and most defined leafy green hop character this side of actually making a cauldron of fresh hop bud soup. The aroma is more than a match for the ale itself, oozing the kind of concentrated spruce and damp forest fauna notes that do for hopheads, what catnip does for felines. As straightforward India Pales go, this is anything but and commands attention ASAP if you're of the hoppy beer persuasion. // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $10 | 6x 12oz cans //
