Sierra Nevada Boomerang IPA


Sierra Nevada Boomerang IPA.

Appearance: lightly hazed, bright yellow hue, vast ivory head, leaving lace.

Aroma: None too bitter, but highly hoppy, giving off notes of tropical fruits and flowers.

Taste: Bitter at first, slightly tart, for a second, then the fruit takes over. Prickly pine makes time with pineapple and other fruity flavors, turning dry in the finish. Crisp, light malt backbone lets the hops shine. Lean-bodied, easy-drinking, refreshing. Hop bitterness remains strong on the palate, a delight to the true hophead. Long, dry, lingering bitter finish. If you love hop bitterness just laying on the tongue and all over the palate, this is for you.

"Boomerang", eh? What's that all about? "boomerang is an American IPA that slings fruit-forward and floral flavors of Australian hops for an assertive, intercontinental escape from winter's grasp." Wait, there's more? "Over the years we've developed a love for hops from the Southern Hemisphere. These "down under" varietals taste like no other, and we've thrown heaps of them into Boomerang IPA to showcase their unique tropical floral and fruity aromas."
Alc. 6.7% by Vol.
