Brau Brothers Paradox Black IPA
Brau Brothers Paradox Black IPA. So named because a "black" India PALE ale is such a thing?
Dark brown coloring, just about black, with a rich tan head, staying long and leaving lace.
Aroma: citrus-y and grassy at once, bittersweet delight, lively and alluring.
Taste: Hop bitterness grabs the palate at first gulp, matched swiftly by sweet, roasty malt body. Hops hang out on top and stick around until the chocolatey finish. Medium bodied, exceptionally drinkable. Ends on a dry note, with hops lingering lightly. Here's a "CDA", or whatever we want to call it these days, that I can get down with.
Label gobbled gook? "Simcoe and Amarillo highlight this dark beer, brewed exclusively with second runnings."
