Year of New Beer: Hunahpu's Day Mega Collab 2015, Cigar City Brewing (FL)

Written By: Dion on 05/15/2015

Brewed with the assistance of the 60+ breweries in attendance for this year's Hunahpu release, this Imperial IPA is "mega" indeed. The nose is candied pineapple and apricot, with traces of melon and honey atop freshly cut field grasses. On the tongue, the fruits are very pithy up front, balanced slightly better by a brown sugar mid-palate. With warmth, the bitterness returns in the form of pine and ragweed buffered again by faint honey sweetness and an estery alcohol heat. Not the best DIPA I've ever had, but one I'm glad I got to try.
