Central Waters Honey Dripper Double Dry Hopped Honey Double India Pale Ale

 


Central Waters Honey Dripper Double Dry Hopped Honey Double India Pale Ale.

8.1% ABV, Central Waters Brewing, Amherst, Wisconsin. 

Lightly hazed, pale orange, bright ivory head, leaving lace. 

In the n: bold citrus! Ripe orange, tangerine. Quite a hoppy li’l thing. 

In the mouth: nice bitterness up front, flooding the palate. Nice and dry. You’d think honey would suggest sweetness, but I’m getting none. Wait…there it is. Just a touch. Now we’ve got a tango between the bitter and the sweet and it’s not too shabby. 

I like this. I’d have another. 

Honey Dripper

Double Dry Hopped Honey DIPA  - 8.1%

Mosaic / Simcoe / Calypso Cryo / Strata

This beer is quite a handful & a bit out of hand. On top of the heavy hand of hops, Acacia Honey, WI Cranberry Honey, & Raspberry Honey,  were added at both the brewing side & fermentation side, this thing is absolutely loaded with hops & honey. The beer also features Briess' American honey malt, adding a nice orange hue, backed by a heavy layering of wheat and oats. 

Tasting Notes : 

Floral stone fruit aromatics, honey candy, and dank peach juice, with a fluffy finish.
