Bauhaus Bestoked India Pale Ale

Bauhaus Bestoked India Pale Ale.



6.4 % ABV, 70 IBU. Bauhaus BrewLabs, Minneapolis, MN. 

It's all hazed-like, bright golden, with a large and lasting, lush ivory head. Looking good. 

In the nose: Bold, fresh, floral, citric, hoppy. Orange, grapefruit, lemon. All the goodness arrive.

In the mouth: Juicy at first, then a bombardment of bitterness, and ultimately the palate turns dry. And delicious. Classic American IPA in every way. Fresh and zesty, abuzz with hoppiness, clean, warm malt flavors. An absolute delight. This lands in all the right ways. Just about a perfect American IPA. Love it. 

Bestoked West Coast-style IPA, with Columbus for bittering and Centennial for hop flavor. Strata and Cascade hops contribute to the aroma character, and a healthy lot of Azacca and Strata hops were used in the dry-hopping process to elevate the aroma even further.
