Venn Batch 109 Mosaic Centennial DIPA

Venn Batch 109 Mosaic Centennial DIPA. 8.2 % ABV, 80 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, crimson colored, slim white head.

In the nose: Chock full o' hops: citrus, piney, resinous, and then some. Juicy, fruity, sweet. A cornucopia of sensations.

In the mouth: More of that, berries, cherries, etc. Lightish in body, easy in the drinking, with the high ABV ringing in surely, in time. Mild bitterness, but bitter, all the same. I'm liking this a lot. Very tasty, with the buzz beginning.

Yum. A Dum. Dum.

Fruity, piney hops, honey malt, balanced.
A Centennial and Mosaic forward Double IPA with a sturdy enough malt backbone for balance within the style.

Malts: Simpsons Golden Promise, Munich, Oats, Honey.
Hops: Warrior, Centennial, Mosaic, Amarillo, Cascade.
Yeast: American Ale.
