Back Channel Ballooney Bin West Coast India Pale Ale.
7% ABV, Back Channel Brewing, Spring Park, MN.
Well, all right, now, Back Channel made a beer that I might actually like. Let’s see how this goes.
Clear, deep golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: vibrant piney notes with citrus on the side. Grapefruit and orange peel, with a squirt of lime.
In the mouth: bitter and resinous at once, bursting with hoppy goodness. Sufficiently dry, clean and bitter. Medium bodied, with a long, bitter finish, lasting long on the tongue.
This isn’t exactly how I like my West Coast IPAs, but I’m happy with how close they get. There’s a touch to much sweetness in it. I always want it dry and brittle.
Can I get this one in a bowl?
