Big Grove Brewery, Iowa City, Iowa.
Another one bought on the way out of Des Moines town. This was also my first beer at the Iowa State Fair a few weeks back. I don't take notes at state fairs. So, now we try it from the can, and let the notes commence...
Bright yellow, but all hazed and clouded up, with a clean, crisp ivory head, leaving lace.
In the nose: Plump with citrus and tropical fruit notes, vibrant hoppiness, very inviting.
In the mouth: Nice splash of bitterness up front, then cool and smooth. Fresh and fruity flavors follow from the aromatics. Tropical tones dominate. Hops are keeping the palate happy. Goes down nice and easy. Quite tasty stuff. A genuine hit of a hazy. This would be in regular rotation were I an Iowan.
Once again, I'm kicking myself for not bringing back more. What was stopping me, there was room in the car. Rent wasn't due yet. One more six pack wouldn't hurt.
Brewed with multiple additions of Simcoe and Mosaic, Easy Eddy’s juicy tropical flavors of pineapple and mango are complemented by a round body and soft bitterness. Infinitely drinkable and relentlessly flavorful. FOR CAN ONLY: Keep cold and drink fresh; this beer will never be better than it was yesterday.
