BEER 600!

COLLECTIVE ARTS ~ IPA PROJECT #1

This brew is the first in a series of IPA's each showcasing a different combination of hop flavours.This brew features Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe and Citra. The Nelson saurian given the beer tropical fruit flavours and aroma, the Simcoe gives it citrus/pine notes and city imparts a floral citrus flavours. Sampled from a tin, the beer poured a hazy golden amber gold with a good sized frothy head, which left some thick lace. There is lots of tropical fruit on the nose (papaya, mango, tangerine, grapefruit) as well as some resiny pine, earthiness, florals, white wine and crackery malts.The taste is quite hop forward, with a really nice hop complexity - all hops imparting a different flavour - floral, white wine, grapefruit, pine, earthiness. Tropical fruit flavours add a bit of sweetness . The body and carbonation are moderate and the finish has a lingering fruity bitterness. The 7% is quite hidden making this one very drinkable.
