220. BrewDog (Columbus, OH) - Pulp Patriot Blueberry

“This powerhouse of a double milkshake IPA is packing blueberry. Delivering intense blueberry aromas and gigantic jammy flavor upfront. Tailgated by citrus notes that balance out the sweetness. Milk sugar adds body and rounds out the chewy delivery.”

If nothing else, they’re better brewers than they are writers. As for the beer, I get a strong scent of blueberry when I pour it—almost like the smell from the toaster when I would heat up a blueberry bagel in the Teter Quad dining room—but the flavor is not quite as strong, and it gets buried under the high alcohol (9.5%). As usual, the citrus comes out as it warms up. I’m a cheap date. This was only $10.99 for a six-pack, and it seems like craft beer is getting more and more expensive since the middle of March when the world shit the bed. Like most everything I’ve had from BrewDog, I don’t love it—but it’s not bad.
