Toppling Goliath Radiant Haze India Pale Ale

 

Toppling Goliath Radiant Haze India Pale Ale.

7% ABV, Toppling Goliath Brewing, Deborah, IA. 

I don’t do many Toppling Goliath beers here. They are all too expensive and they are almost always hazy IPAs. This one I got for free, so no buying anything $20 4-pack this time. And it says Haze right in the name, so no bamboozlement.

All hazy. Bright golden hue, slim white head.

In the nose: so fuzzy. Under that stuff, loads of the usual citrusy stuff. Lemon, orange, grapefruit.

 In the mouth: cool, soft, shiny. Big hop expression, more citrusy suspects. Fresh and lively. In fact, quite tasty. Medium bodied, yeasty as they get, ...and I get why people like these, but I can only think of what I’m missing. Clarity means a lot, to the eye, and on the palate. 

Mellow out as you bask in the radiant haze of Amarillo, Citra, mosaic & Sabro hops. open your third eye & follow this hazy IPA on a tropical trip with notes of orange & mango.
