Montgomery Double India Pale Ale.
8% ABV. 72 IBU.
Montgomery Brewing, Montgomery, MN.
Mostly clear, deep amber hue, nearing crimson in color, fine helping of ivory froth on top.
In the nose: Sweet malty notes hit first, followed by fruit, and hints of hops. Slightly buttery?
In the mouth: Hop bitterness is in command at first sip, swallowed up surely by malt flavors. Well-balanced, this, while juicy and bitter. Alcohol strength is held at bay for a bit. Bright, fresh, and hoppy. Mmm, this is tasty stuff, and here it comes, the booze arrives. Held in check by full flavors, malt and hops held equally aloft.
This is the specialty batch that was requested so often it required us to add another tap and expand our flagship lineup.
West coast style, Midwest heart. Smooth and bold at the same time.
