Cigar City Space Pope IPA

-

ABV: 7.3% | IBUS: 57 | SRM: 13 What the brewer says

“Brewed with an astronomic­al amount of Mosaic, Citra, CTZ, and Galaxy hops that lend notes of passion fruit and melon to the clean flavors of base malt and a touch of crystal malt for depth of character.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Orange and tropical—almost Orange Julius. Pineapple, a touch of passion fruit or guava. A bit of herbal and dank in the background. Slight pine. Simple malt sweetness.” Flavor: “Well balanced with a lightly toasted malt bill supporting citrus and tropical fruit and a touch of light stone fruit. Finishes a bit sweet, but the medium-high lingering bitterness helps to cut through the sweetness. Moderate alcohol warmth.” Overall: “Very orange with some supporting tropical fruit, grassy, and dank. The hops bitterness is subdued; some might want more, but overall, a good balance to me. A big juicy tropical IPA. Yum!”
