The IPA is definately a style of beer that has really grown on me throughout this challenge. They are often a fairly intense affair and I guess it took some time to really acclimatise to what they bring to the table.
It's probably a good thing then, that I downed this beer a bit later into the challenge as on a good day it could very well out punch Brock Lesnar's fist.
The base flavours are floral and citrusy with intermittent malt sweeps... and then comes a loooooong dry, bitter finish.
It's big. Possibly a touch over the line even, but not enough to really be detrimental. It's quite an anomaly, the drink is immensely refreshing until the bitterness bulldozer steams through leaving a trail of wreckage in your mouth.
It's 6.5% which is I guess mid strength for an IPA. That being it doesn't have to hide it's alcohol conent like the 8% do.
Still, it's a very good IPA.
8/10
