Year of New Beer: Space Cowboy, People's Brewing Co. (IN)

Written By: Dion on 05/29/2014

Aroma is extremely mild and not at all what I was expecting from a Double IPA, as only faint citrus and pine greet the nose along with a subdued graininess. On the tongue, candied pineapple and mango team up with a ribbon of caramel malt to lean this one heavily to the sweet side. Add to this a slightly overbearing alcohol presence and the hops are pretty much robbed of their chance to assert themselves. Lacks the balance and refinement to put it in the category with the top notch doubles.
