Toppling Goliath Supa' Sumo Double IPA

And here we have the first bottle of Toppling Goliath beer that I purchased from Toppling Goliath in Deborah, Iowa. Picked up at the on Sunday, September 3. I could have looked for one locally, but I was there, and so was the beer.

Supa' Sumo Double India Pale Ale. 8% ABV. 100 IBU.

Hazy, just the way the kids like 'em these days, and a dullish gold hue, with a slim white head.

In the nose: soft, lightly bitter, tropical fruit notes, slight citrus, touch of pine. I'm getting the feeling that this is yet another entrant in the NE IPA sweepstakes. Time to drink...

In the mouth: Here's the bitterness from the start, there's the fruit and the hops and the delicious malty flavors. Terrific smack of hops, wonderful dryness, dee-licious. yeah, I can drink it, and enjoy it all the way. Nice. Good and nice. Tons of tropical and citrus fruitiness, while sticking on the dry side. Loving it.

This double India Pale Ale is a hazy triumph made possible by the combination of Mosaic and Citra hops giving it pineapple and orange flavors that will smash into your tastebuds. 

Ah, Citra & Mosaic, the classic, unbeatable dup, they never fail.
