Year of New Beer: Punch You in the EyePA, Fifty West Brewing (Cincinnati)

Written By: Dion on 08/19/2015

On a day where I had the opportunity to try samples at four different breweries, it's difficult to narrow it down to a couple of favorites. This one, however, was my winner on the day. Second from the right in the photo. Herbal, dank, with a big boxwood note on the nose. All of these aspects carry over to the tongue, where a nice hit of grapefruit pith comes on. Bold, juicy bitterness with extremely well-hidden alcohol. Very nicely done.
