Pipeworks Ninja Vs. Unicorn Vs. The Haze Double IPA.8 % ABV. Pipeworks Brewing, Chicago, IL.
A temporary truce between the shadow warriors and the unicorns has been called. Though they are sworn enemies, they must join forces to defeat their trendiest enemy - The Haze!
So, here we have a hazy version of a beer I like quite a bit. (As seen here.) Will this be an improvement? Only one way to find out.
Highly hazed, dull yellow color, large and lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Soft and citrusy, with an increasing sweetness from tropical tones.
In the mouth: Hops climb on the palate, dab it with brief bitterness, than along comes the sweet notes of tropical fruit, blended with citrus. And the haze for days that's all the craze, and the yeasty goodness that swims in the mouth. Juicy and smooth. Tastes enough like the DIPA I prefer, but keeping the kids happy with the haze. Compromise? I know which one I prefer. This one is far too into the sweet side for me. I need more of the bitter, please and thank you.
I'd like to know who wins this epic battle. Did Ninja and Unicorn defeat the Haze? If this is just a one-off, and if the original NvU is still around, we may have our answer.
Did the Ninjas defeat the unicorn, or was it Biblical negligence? Shel Silverstein contemplated the question of the unicorn's absence in our world, and the Irish Rovers sang the song:
