$12 Growler
I have said it before, ‘I hate growlers.’ 64 ounces of beer and I have to drink it the
day I open it. Some people say, it is
still good for a day or two. To me – No Way. The next day it is flat. I think the beer actually starts to break down
with them pouring the brew into the growler and then you have to take it home.
I swear the transportation helps to diminish the flavors and mouthfeel. Then, pouring your beer from the growler is
just plain awkward.
Appearance: a shiny golden amber body with a little white
head that leaves some spotty lacing
Aroma: sweet cotton candy hops – grapefruit peel like; interesting
– cotton candy grapefruit
Flavors: candy like sugar swirls around pink grapefruit with
a light pine aftertaste
Mouthfeel: low carbonation; medium body; moderate
bitterness; dry; the light pine aftertaste lingers;
The cotton candy pink grapefruit was really noticeable on
the first glass.

To the Point: a nice, pleasing, rather simple IPA. Easy to drink.
Pair this with: white fish; how about soaking your shrimp
and scallops in this ale and sprinkle some oregano or sage.
Cigar pairing: Drew Estates Undercrown – which I smoked with
this growler.
