Invictus Unafraid IKA (India Kolsch Ale).
6.1 % ABV. 30 IBU.
Invictus Brewing, Blain, MN.
Hazy. Golden Hued. Big, lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Soft, subtle, fruity, slightly sweet. Kind of kolsch-esque, but not quite.
In the mouth: A little kiss of the hops greet the palate. Bitterness is here, and it lasts long. Medium bodied, light and easy drinking. Not getting much of a classic kolsch flavor, but I shouldn't expect it to, either. Bright citrusy flavors keep it all tasty. Rather delicious and delightful. I'd go back for another.
I gather the use of a kolsch yeast lends this the name, but it lacks the other important elements.
India Kolsch Ale
Be unafraid! The use of Ekuanot and Mosaic hops gives this beer aromas of bright tangerine with papaya. On the palate, flavors of mandarin orange dominates with hints of mango and grapefruit.
