Tonight's beer:
Opens massively, wildly bitter: musk and melons and tropical fruits backed by pine and grass and come citrus. Bready-honeyed sweetness arises quickly, turning all that fruity bitterness to pulpy juice. Hints of caramel in the distance, then the beer slams to bitter again and very dry.
Medium-bodied or so, maybe a little lighter, with good carbonation. Sheets of resinous-syrupy stickiness linger through a long and gradual finish. Wraps up drying and scrubbing—leaning to scouring—and eventually refreshing. The 8% ABV is all but undetectable.
Egad. It's a heavily hyped Double IPA in a 16-oz. Can, from a brewery in Vermont, that's actually deserving of the hype. Intense as hell and dazzlingly complex, so unbalanced as to be practically horizontal but superbly well-integrated. Staggeringly drinkable.
