Year of New Beer: IPA 395, Mammoth Brewing Co. (CA)

Written By: Dion on 01/26/2014

Big notes of evergreen and sage initially, with an increased temperature and vigorous swirl bringing forth the sweetness of the juniper berry. On the tongue, a pine hop bitterness ramps up the herbal quality while the sage battles for top billing. A pretty good undercurrent of caramel malt keeps things from getting too one-sided. A very unique and solid IPA. Thanks Dara Hang for giving me the chance to try this one.
