So, I kind of got this beer on a whim my buddy was going to
the six pack shop and I gave him some money and said surprise me. Therefore, I do not know much about this
beer, other than the art work, so this is an unbiased opinion. Enjoy!
Appearance- With an aggressive pour, a beautiful two finger
creamy head appears and is lingering quite nicely. It has a creamy head with large bubbles. This brew is a deep amber/brown color with
high carbonation. Finally, it is fully
transparent with heavy lacing.
Smell- Off the initial smell, I get huge hints of apricot
and yeast. There are some serious malty
and bready notes that attack your nostrils.
With further concentration I can really pick up some grapefruit and
banana. There are some serious tropical
notes with German yeast.
Taste- Wow was not expecting that bitterness right
away. With the first large gulp a
beautiful floral hop taste stays on the back of your tongue. There is a huge presence of grapefruit and
orange, and even banana. The yeast and
breadiness is also so prevalent on the initial palate then it is followed by
those beautiful tropical fruit notes.
Mouthfeel- Definitely a full bodied brew for an IPA. I would say it has a medium body with high
drinkability. The alcohol is present
with 8.3% ABV so you can feel a little heat, but it is VERY well masked. This is a dangerous brew with how smoothly it
goes down with that amount of alcohol.
Overall- I really loved this beer. First Belgian IPA I have had and I will
definitely get more of them. The German
yeast mixed with the bitterness of an IPA truly makes my taste buds dance. I would recommend this to any craft beer
drinker for a change of pace. Truly,
this beer could turn you into a “Raging Bitch” with its incredibly
drinkability. CHEERS!
