One Star Review

Описание

Upon entering the tasting room, I asked my beertender to grab me whatever her favorite beer was. She brought back a glass of a hazy elixir with an extremely potent nose spilling out of the glass. She told me which beer it was; One Star Review. She said it is a big Double IPA with a hint of sweetness and a huge body that leaves the beer sticking to your palate. With little regard for scalability, the brewers dump ten pounds per barrel of hops into this beer through multiple dry hoppings, the vast majority being Mosaic and Enigma hops. I told her I knew all about those hops, thanked her, sat down, then googled what Enigma hops are. These amazing new hops from Australia are a righteous pain in the keister to procure. I see why this was her favorite beer; the hop aroma is beyond persistent, with melon, citrus, berries, and weed notes. The beer clings to my taste buds with each sip like a hoppy oil slick. Hints of malt sweetness compliment the fruity hops, giving them an almost candied profile, making it surprisingly drinkable for such a large and over-hopped Double IPA. Bitterness is still kept in a nice and balanced restraint which is literally and figuratively refreshing. I'm impressed with how much hop flavor and aroma they could cram into this beer, and the quality of hops is stellar. One Star Review Double IPA is a must-get if you like hoppy beers and are in the area. Overall this is quite the hop monster. On a scale of 1-5, I have to give it 1 star; I don't like hoppy beers
