Toppling Goliath Pompeii India Pale Ale

Pompeii India Pale Ale, brewed and bottled by Toppling Goliath Brewing Company, Deborah, Iowa.

Hazy, cloudy, yet bright golden in color, pure ivory head, creamy and lush, leaving lace, looking great.

Aroma is burst with citrus, pine and tropical fruit notes. Big, bright, and booming. Spreading zesty sunshine up into the nasal cavities and beyone. I dig it.

In the mouth: More brightness, more beauty, more yum. Clean, smooth, and full of tasty hoppiness, without a lot of bitterness. Sunshine-y and ever-so tasty. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Easy-going and utterly delightful. Ah, my goodness. Medium-bodied, light bitterness, beautiful fruit factor.

I won't read the label to you. I tire of typing. It's an over-ripe and over-wrought scenario involving the  volcanic eruption at Pompeii and the mosaics that existed there. Because, I presume, Mosaic is the hops here, and it is delicious as ever in this. Here's what they say on the website. 

Good IPA, go drink it.
