239. Fat Bottom Brewing Co. (Nashville, TN) - Knockout (5.9%)

“Starting as a taproom special, this brew was too popular not to bring back for the big time. Made from Cascade and Pacific Jade hops, Knockout is distinguished by a grapefruit aroma. And at 80 IBU, she has a bitter punch, but is balanced with a malty backbone. She’s definitely a knockout!”

Cascade and Pacific Jade hops are supposed to impart spicy qualities and citrus notes, and I get some of both with this one. Has the powerful, sharp taste of a much bigger beer, but it’s only 5.9%.
