Belching Beaver Melty Hops
Double India Pale Ale.
Collaboration with Revision Brewing Company.
8.8 % ABV, 70 IBU.
Belching Beaver Brewing, Oceanside, CA.
I can't pass up any beer whose label riffs on Salvador Dali. I mean, duh.
Clear, bright golden hue, large white head, leaving some lace.
In the nose: magnificent mix. Citrus and sweet, tropical and dank, overpoweringly delightful. Orange, grapefruit, pineapple, pine tree, a little guava.
In the mouth: Starts slightly harsh and bitter, until the fruit pops up, citrus and tropical. Juicy. Bitter. With alcohol rearing in, loading onto the palate for the long haul. It's got everything I'm looking for.
Medium bodied, good drinking, nice balance of the sweet and bitter. Guava meets orange, grapefruit butts up against pineapple. Tasty, tasty stuff. Nice and melty, too.
We are proud to collaborate with our good friends from who happen to be some of the best hoppy beer brewers in the world. This beer is loaded with Citra, Simcoe, Cashmere, and Azacca to create a bouquet of tropical fruit, pine, mandarin orange, and tangerine.
