Warpigs Foggy Geezer. Hazy India Pale Ale. Warpigs Brewing, Mikkeller/Three Floyds.
8% ABV, 70 IBU.
Here we have the collaborative effort between Denmark's Mikkeller and Indiana's Three Floyds Brewing, Warpigs. They had a Copenhagen brewpub, and now there's one in Chicago under the guiding hand of our old friend, Todd Haug. The names are the same as those brewed in the Danish pub, and these cans are produced by contract in Wisconsin, under Todd's watchful eye. (The can reads in a combination of English and Danish: "Bryggit af Warpigs USA Brewin USA Verona WI USA.")
To the eye: Lightly hazed, bright golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: bursting with the tropical. pineapple meets pine and citrus.
In the mouth: Bold bitterness, fresh citrus/tropical hop flavors, and a clean entrance on the palate. Medium/light body. Refreshing. Slightly sweet for a bit, with hop bitterness subdued. Remains sweet and fruity throughout, a bit too much for me.
Toward the end, a bitter astringency comes roaring back. Seems just a touch confused.
Good India Pale Ale, and you can drink it.
A super fruity and dank Warpigs hazy IPA forged in collaboration between Three Floyds and Mikkeller.
