499. Black Dog Brewing Company (Mooresville, IN) - Copper Beams

“Copper Beams has a bright and fluffy effervescence with a tropical nose that hints at citrus fruit flavors with a bit of spice on the back end.”

Not sure I get the spice at the end, but we shall see how it warms up. It’s definitely (and quite pleasantly) tropical up front, with strong hints of papaya and lighter hints of pineapple. It’s got a lovely haze to it that contributes to the illusion of a thickish mouthfeel that almost makes you think it’s sweet—though it’s not. These cats are basically just down the road, and how the hell have I not had their beer before now? There might be a bit of a citrus shine on the back end when it warms up, but if you can pull that out of the tropical haze, you’re better at this than I am.
