What the brewer says

“Our Blah Blah Blah IPA is a deep gold color, double IPA (of course), and jammed with hops flavors and aromas. With nine different hops varietals, on top of late-kettle boil additions, this beer has a juicy-hops, chewy flavor.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Really nice tropical aroma dominates up front as it warms. Grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon. Pineapple, spiced pear, red apples, Munich malt, and maybe a hint of onion. A slight grassy aroma appears and dissipates.” Flavor: “Citrus up front with lemon and grapefruit. Turns into vegetal and earthy: green pepper, green onion, garlic. No harshness. A bit of alcohol warmth that features pineapple in the finish.” Overall: “Conflicting hops characters with an almost too harsh finish that takes away from an otherwise interesting beer.”
