Sisyphus Piney But Younger. 8.7% ABV. 92 IBU.
If you read my last Sisyphus post, you may remember that I urged Sam Harriman to embrace his inner Weird Al and keep the parody beer names coming. He read that loud and clear. I arrived at the taproom the other day to try out Canadian Brunch (there's one) maple bourbon stout, which you won't see here as I couldn't take it home, and here was Piney But Younger. (there's another.) Keep 'em coming, Weird Sam.
Clear, bright golden color, lovely white head, lasting long.
Gorgeous aromatics. Prickly pine, fragrant and floral, juicy citrus notes. Yeah, this is the stuff. Vibrant and beautiful, loud and lively. Sublime.
Taste: Big hop bitterness blasts the palate right off, fierce, pungent and pithy, resinous and very piney. Lemon and grapefruit. Medium bodied, huge bitterness, long lasting on the palate. Slightly astringent. Never-ending hop-maliciousness. Yeah, that's what it is.
This one put me in a very happy place. Good beers keep happening here.
