Back Channel Parody West Coast India Pale Ale.
6% ABV, Back Channel Brewing, Spring Park, Minnesota.
I couldn’t find out where the name comes from, but this had better not be a parody of my favorite style.
Clear, bright golden hue, stable ivory head.
In the nose: pine and citrus, grapefruit and lemon.
In the mouth: floods the palate with hoppiness, crisp and clean. Nice and dry. Just enough bitterness to please this hophead. Just enough fresh, delicious flavor, too. Plenty of piney and citrus.
(Addendum, weeks later):Okay, I’m a little embarrassed about this. Top hats, horns, records and the word Parody, what do they have in common? It can only be one thing. Minneapolis-born Barry Hansen, aka Dr. Demento.
