Giesenbrau Bier Co. Bavarian Gangsta India Pale Ale. 7.5% ABV. Giesenbrau Brewing, New Praque, MN.
Clear, amber-hued, heavy helping of ivory froth atop.
In the nose: clean, slightly sweet, lightly malty, Just a touch floral, fruity, and feeling all the way classically Deutsch. (And only slightly butter-y.)
In the mouth: Bitterness comes on strong at first, but doesn't dominate, nor is assertive in any way. Just nice and cool. Light-bodied, sweet, juicy malt. Tasty. Balanced. Maybe a little too on the sweet side. (Diacetyl? Can't say for sure. And, as the first beer I've reviewed from them, I'd be irresponsible to suggest it.) Getting some citrus, some pineapple, a little orange. Very mellow, very groovy. I kind of like it.
7.5% High IBU - zee Germans historically are not known for their IPAs but they grow some really good hops for them, so we used all German hops and malts to brew this IPA. Featuring Hallertau Blanc and Mandarina Bavarian hops, expect a juicy IPA with notes of Mandarin, grapefruit, pineapple and grape.
