Day Block Batch 94 IPA. "This crowler contains 750 ml of hand-crafted, Minneapolis-brewed beer. Please enjoy the crowler out of it." 7.1% ABV. 101 IBU. (I think that's what it says. Kind of hard to read. Okay, 101, sounds good, if it seems high.)
Appearance: clear, bright amber/crimson hue, slim, lacy, ivory head.
Aroma: Brimming with fruit. Stone and citrus. Slightly, just slightly buttery. Bittersweet and creamy. Growing with intensity.
Taste: Hits the palate running, blazing trails of bitterness. Again, growing with intensity. Medium-bodied. Apricot, tangerine, peach, grapefruit. Again, stone fruit and pungent citrus at play in the mouth. Long-lasting bitter finish.
Non-stop bitterness and smooth malty flavor makes this one satisfying IPA. This crowler's going down.
And while I drink it, let's read the copy on the can label, before it melts or something. "West Coast IPA. brewed with Old World Pilsner base malt, and hopped aggressively with Columbus, Chinook, Centennial and Crystal hops, Then dry-hopped with a further 10 pounds of hops! This IPA is dry, bitter, and bright orange."
