Pryes Winter IPA

Pryes Winter I.P.A. 7.1% ABV. Pryes Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

My patience works at separate speeds. I had little of it
to spare in waiting for the head to die down in taking
this pic, but I had to practice some before drinking.

Here we have a growler purchased at the brewery on January 13, and consumed on January 14. So, these notes and photos have been sitting on my laptop for about five weeks for reasons too tedious to mention. Let's waste no more time, before winter leaves and spring is in command of the land.

Clear, amber-tinted hue, voluminous creamy white head. Looking great.

In the nose: nicely spicy, dark fruity, floral, some malt in there, altogether beautiful.

In the mouth: More hops, more spice. Nice and fruity. Delicious malt, easy drinker, high quality. So many flavors. Spruce? Juniper? Various fruits and spices. So many nice hops. Nice meets nice plus nice. Good drinking IPA.

In Pryesian fashion, the beer is described with a trinity of words or phrases: Pine, Hoppy, Black Currant
