164. BrewDog (Columbus, OH) - Pulp Patriot

“New England to the power of two. This Juggernaut of a double IPA weighs in at 9.5%, delivering a payload of big fruit with mango and peach front and center. Milk sugar builds and rounds out the fully juicy notes.”

The description on the website says, “intense stewed raspberry aromas and gigantic jammy flavour.” The description on the can is the one about mango and peach, and that’s what the beer tastes like. Starts off smooth and sweet when it’s cold, and then sharpens up a little as it warms. It’s a little bit too heavy for me, both in terms of flavor and alcohol—but lovely, in its way. Extraordinarily romantic, but I’m not going to explain that.
