Locale: Chicago, IL
Craft Circa: 2012
Style: Belgian IPA
Label: Love it.
Shout out to a local artist, always a homerun. The bottle art is by Emily Cunningham. The creature depicted is a Glaucus, which is basically Ariel
if she was a dude. A batch number is
hand written on the label, which you can research and discover when that batch
was bottled according to their website. That
shows confidence that they feel they will be selling these fast.
Overall: For every Belgian Style IPA I’ve had, I’ve probably
had 100 American IPAs to counter it. I
have not had too many Belgian IPAs yet in my day, but I hope to surmount all
of them at some point. I have not had a bad one so far. This beer is right up with the others. Quality brew.
Full flavored, very delicious. This
BIPA packs a nice array of spices from start to finish. It generates excitement for the Chicagoland
area, that yet another quality brew maker may be on the horizon.
This
style of beer is solid in that it encompasses both IPA and Belgian beer lovers
with this collaboration of flavor and hops. It’s a hybrid beer in essence, between an
American IPA with a Belgian Tripel. On
top of that, this appears to be a very trendy style of beer, with more and more
pour houses and breweries offering at least one. We are just at the tip of the iceberg for
BIPAs.
Praise
and rejoice.
Acquisition: 22 oz. - $9
