Barrel Theory Fire Diss Track IPA w/ Mosaic

Kids these days. Always using that newfangled slang. I still like that old-fangled slang. 23 Skidoo, Cat's Meow, groovy, way-out, man, and all that. Let's see if I can figure out the name of this beer.

Fire, we know, is something hot, that has heat, or is ablaze.  "Diss" is to disrespect, of this I am aware. And track refers to a piece of recorded music, in this context. So, what we have here is a rap song, I think, where one musician calls out another with which he has a "beef" for being "wack", or some such, and does it so well that it is "fire." Why they need to do this, though, I'll never understand. Whatever happened to nice music, for the nice people? Why must the artists of today tear down others in order to build themselves up? Whatever happened to melody?

Okay, enough acting like an old fogey, let's drink one of those Barrel Theory IPAs that are all the rage these days...

Fire Diss Track. 7.3% ABV. Barrel Theory Brewing, St. Paul, MN.

Thoroughly hazed, bright orange hue, long-lasting ivory head.

In the nose: bold hop presence, big citrus, orange, lemon, a pinch of pineapple. Other flavors lurk below. Mosaic going wild here.

In the mouth: hop bitterness blasts the palate, followed by nothing but juicy. Intense and delicious. Beautiful blend of bitter buzz juicy, smooth mouthfeel. Goes down remarkably easy. Hop bite continues to tread across the palate, providing additional delights.

I like this one. Surprise: BT makes great IPAs.
