465. Fat Head’s Brewery (Middleburg Heights, OH) - IBU-sive

“Heavy doses of citra and mosaic hops together with strata layered-in lend resinous aromatics. Tropical and citrus flavors of pineapple and orange. Light caramel malt sweetness with medium bitterness.”

And you’d think that the bitterness would be off the charts with a name like “IBU-sive.” The one I had on tap at the Off Broadway Taproom in Madison, Indiana, last week had all kinds of lovely fruit flavors going on. This one, out of a can from a six-pack I bought at Stoney’s the other day, is not as dynamic. Mostly pine, with a little bit of fruit, and practically no bitterness at all. So much better on tap than out of a can that I want to plan our next three-day weekend for Cleveland and Cuyahoga Valley National Park so I can try some of their stuff in the taproom.
