Hey, it's my first crowler from Drastic Measures, after having a 4-pack of cans. And it's another hazy double IPA. Not surprising, I do gravitate towards the hoppy stuff. But. My next beer from them should be something different. I hope.
Drastic Measures Ill Intent Double IPA.
8 % ABV. Drastic Measures Brewing, Wadena, MN.
All kinds of hazy (naturally), dull orange hue, thick and lush ivory head, leaving lace, looking luscious.
In the nose: Sweet, tropical, fruity. All hoppy, some malty.
In the mouth: Well, this has everything the hazy IPA lover wants, all the yeast, all the hops, all the fruity/juiciness, and just a little more booze. It's bright and buoyant. Galaxy and mosaic. Brimming with brightness. All the citric goodness, all on blast. Bright, juicy, orangey, lemony, yum, a, dum, dum. And it's got the haze...if you're into that thing....
Galaxy/mosaic
Let's face it, we live in some...interesting times. But when the world seems to be at it's worst, beer seems to taste the best - at least that's our take on it. And, there's never been a better time to be a beer geek than right now. Here at Drastic Measures we've been busy brewing the kind of beer we love, and we're pretty darn confident that you'll love it too! So when the world knocks you down, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and grab a pint glass...or, drink it straight from the can. Hey, it's your beer!
