Overview
102 I.B.U. – nuff said
What I think
It’s not as bitter as the 102IBU’s make you think it might be. I actually thought the Sam Adams Imperial Pils was much more bitter.
As you can see from the pour above this beer came out pretty much perfect. The aroma on this is hop punch to the face with mild tones of citrus. The bod was a tad on the thick side but pleasant and the hops. Sweet googly moogly was this a freaking hop DREAM. As my buddy Phil would say “beergasm”! The hops play around with your palate and a nice malty tent fills the rest of your mouth. The finish was like that moment when you kick back, take a deep breath and say “yeah… life is good”. That’s what this beer is.
Spoon’s rating: A+

I have it for you just just havent had time to package and ship out yet. Things got hectic at work and home plus sickpuppy hasnt been around for me to use that food saver. May just invest in a shitload of bubble wrap.
