Spiral Brewing Downward Spiral IPA. 7.4 % ABV.Spiral Brewery, Hastings, MN.
Clear, bright golden hue, nearly amber, under a slim white head.
In the nose: Big citrus with a pinch of pine.
In the mouth: Big juicy jolt of hops right off the bat. Dripping dank and resiny hop goodness, leaving slight bitterness behind. Fairly smooth and mellow. Beautiful bitterness rides down the back of the throat, coating abrasiveness on the way. And I can dig it. Long lasting hop flavors, supported by clean, crisp, medium malt. Tasty stuff. I can have a few of these, no problem.
Our IPA is a celebration of all that we love about hops. Aromatic. Floral. Resiny. Flavorful. Memorable. This dry, slightly grainy brew has tropical notes on the nose and a citrus follow up that balances its firm (but not too firm) bitter finish. For those who are turned off by the bitterness of IPAs, have no fear. This beer is big on flavor and aroma but not so bitter as to destroy your palate for a week.
