White Birch Double IPA. 9.2% ABV, 90 IBU. White Birch Brewing, Hooksett, New Hampshire.
Highly hazed, bright golden toned, voluminous ivory head. Looking great.
In the nose: Bitter and sweet at once. Pungent. Funky. In the current vernacular, "dank." Quite on the dank side. Wild and sticky.
In the mouth: Intense. Powerful. Extreme. Loose and easily provoked. Citrus forward, in, out and all about. Clings heavily to the palate. Long, bitter finish. More than medium bodied. Chock full of hoppy delights. And not an easy drinker. Leans hard on the sweet and the strong. Not that I can't handle it. I quite like it. It does something to me. Something that simply mystifies me.
A thoroughly diggable DIPA.
The Imperial or Double IPA is a true American creation and a beer style loved by many. This small batch DIPA takes some non-traditional hops and explores the finer flavors of tropical fruit, bitterness and spicy hops with a golden sweet malt body. Warrior, Summit, Millenium and Northern Brewer hops team up to deliver bold flavor without the tongue scrapping bitterness. Old school, tasty and best fresh. I hope you enjoy this fun beer.
