Toppling Goliath Double Dry Hop Pseudo Sue Pale Ale.
5.8% ABV, 48 IBU. Toppling Goliath Brewing, Deborah, IA.
Hazy and golden, small white head.
In the nose: Soft, sweet, citrusy. Grapefruit, orange, and lemon, with a bit of tropical in the mix.
In the mouth: Bright, juicy, soft, smooth. Bold citrus flavors shine, but bitterness is dulled. This is why the coveted "double dry hop" does not agree with yours truly. It neuters what makes pale ales and IPAs great. Fine. Whatever. It's all the rage. I can't fight it. All smooth and shiney and chock full of hoppy goodness.
This was antoher case of where I just had to give it a try, if only to once again confirm my belief that the double dry-hop fad is not for me. Zero dry-hops, I say! Or, maybe, just one. And let's keep it at that!
This double dry hopped pale ale showcases the Citra hop for a well balanced beer that is delicate in body with a mild bitterness in the finish. Ferocious aromas of citrus and mango give a refreshing taste that is bright with just enough bite!
