Ale Asylum High Coup India Pale Ale. "A dank and resinous India Pale Ale from Ale Asylum in Madison, WI. 6.2% ABV.
Clear (slight chill haze), bright golden color, sizable and staying head of ivory foam above.
In the nose: Blast of citrus notes and hop bitterness. Grapefruit, orange and lime. C hops ahoy. Fierce upfront, mellow thereafter.
In the mouth: Juicy and bitter, together. Dank and resinous is right. All the pieces in all the right places, all taking part in playing their part. (Pssst, I just gave away the secret of great beer.) Lean bodies, easy drinking, long, hoppy finish. Astringency hangs on the palate, just the way I like it.
Very nice IPA. Good work, AA.
6.2% abv.– Bold yet approachable, this resinous IPA is dank and resinous and packs the flavor of a high octane beer in a more sessionable 6.2% abv package. Aromas and flavors of tropical fruits dance wildly over your palate before a splash of juicy bitterness washes them away. High Coup is available April through June 2018, both packaged on tap throughout Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
