Year of New Beer: Timber Beast, Lazy Magnolia Brewing (MS)

Written By: Dion on 02/22/2013

This rye IPA smells fantastic--juicy citrus and overly ripe pineapple with hints of a brown sugar-like malt backbone. The taste doesn't quite match the aroma in terms of general awesomeness, but this is still one good beer. Orange peel and pineapple hit first, but are quickly overtaken by the rye spiciness before the tongue gets worked over by a hop bitterness that proclaims "I am the beast here."
