An IPA that gives equal billing
to its hops and its malt profile. |
Described as "a delight for all hop heads" on the label, I was really looking forward to this 6.4% IPA from
Butte Creek Brewing.
The beer pours an amber colour with a thin white fluffy head. Aroma is dominated by the hops (citrus predominantly) but there is also a nice sweet malt presence. Medium to full bodied with a big flavour profile. The taste is nicely balanced between the up front hops and the caramel dominated malt. The caramel is nearly cherry like and this is cut through nicely by the hops. However there is surprisingly little bitterness on the end, something that I would have expected from an American IPA.
A really nice IPA that gives equal billing to its hops and its caramel malts, not quite the hop head described on the label, but nonetheless comes highly recommended.
