Brew Review #113
Magic Hat Odd Notion Big 100 IBU IPA
Imperial / Double IPA
Magic Hat, South Burlington, Vermont, USA
I RATE THIS BEER: 83
RELEASE: Special One-off Production // THE ABV. ? | IBU’s. 100 // THE NOSE: Papaya, Goji Berry, Cider Vinegar, Pineapple, Baked Apple // THE TASTE: Sunflower Seed, Bay Leaf, Pink Grapefruit, Lemongrass, White Pepper // THE BOTTOMLINE: This hop forward, golden nectar has a citrus blossom flavored spine the length and breadth of the Grand Canyon. Upon initial sip, everything is sweetness and light, the essence of pine needle, lemon grove and sticky plant resin power across the palate with electricity and grip. Fully bitter and increasingly hot on the mid palate, things are still good and as they should be. In the third act however this promising hop rocket sputters badly, virtually all flavor withers and things get watery really fast. This beer is a tease - next! // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $12 | 1x 64oz growler //
