Summit Experimental Hop IPA. 6% ABV. 60 IBU. Summit Brewing Company, St. Paul, MN.
Clear, crimson-colored, large swath of creamy-toned froth on top.
In the nose: bright, fresh, and fruity. Bunch of berries, with a slice of citrus. Many characteristics at play, here.
In the mouth: Intense, bright, bold, fruity, and generally off-the wall assault of an IPA. Again, more than mere citrus, we get berries to boot. Some fruit, some hop bitterness, and a modicum of malt at work here. Quantifiably consumable.
I can like it, and I can drink it, and it is, indeed, good beer. Cheers to experimental beer, Summit!
Assertively hoppy with intense aromas of fresh berries, pineapple, apricot, peach and coconut, Summit Experimental Hop IPA deploys hops so new and mysterious they don’t even have names. Flanked by a complex grain bill and boasting 6% ABV and 60 badass IBU, this drinkable IPA showcases the interesting and exciting advances taking place in American hop cultivation. Always advance. Never retreat.
