Mother Earth Sisters Of The Moon India Pale Ale

American IPA

Mother Earth, Kinston, North Carolina, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 90

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 7.0% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Preserved Lemon, Garlic Flower, Wet Gravel, Carnation Flower, Sulfur // THE TASTE: Honey, Dandelion, Yellow Grapefruit, White Pepper, Yellow Squash, Apple Cider Vinegar // THE BOTTOMLINE: The inviting scents of meadow fresh wildflowers and sharp citrus fruits welcome the drinker of this extremely sessionable India Pale. Following initial sip, the ales delicate honeycomb sugar and spritzy yellow fruit juice flavors fall back providing space for a well balanced and increasing muscular hop bite to build momentum towards a satisfyingly bitter conclusion. This is another perfect ‘steppingstone’ ale to tempt your macro brew hugging friends with. // THE BACKBONE: Briess Two-Row and Muntons Pale Malts, Chinook, Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial, California Yeast // PRICE POINT: $10 | 6x 12oz bottles //
