8 Ball - Big, Bold & Ballsy

One of our earliest recipes, we wanted to push this big IPA all the way. So we packed it full of Rye and dry hopped it for days with American hops, using old pool balls to weigh the hop sack down in the beer. Hence the name.

Go ahead and sink a few, be rude not to really

Аромат очень сильный и очень хмелевой, есть нотки цитрусов и при этом сладкие нотки карамели с намеком на патоку, также нотки солода жареного как будто с костром, но немного, пенка неплохая, очень долго держится, хотя весьма тонкая она. Вкус тоже глубокий, хмелевой, причем не крафтовый как будто. Снова карамельные нотки, немного специй. При глотке очень сильная горечь, на все 65. В целом хорошая ипашка, и вкусная и глубокая на вкус, но просто слишком горькая.

Rocky off white head left a froth on a dark caramel coloured still body. Pine, rye & spiced fruit aroma. Medium bodied, soft & pillowy over the tongue with a lighter clean back. Spiced fruit, raisin, pine, rye & resinous tastes with bitter hopped up grapefruit finish. Good one.

Lillehøgda. Mørk gyldenbrun. Nesten klar. Lavt kremaktig skum. Aroma av aprikos. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørket frukt. Tørr avslutning.

Bottle at Beer Rebellion. Rich amber red colour, creamy light golden bubbly head. Aroma is satisfyingly weird rye, fruity, pretty nice. Taste is pretty good, slightly cheesy, rye weirdness, light bitterness. Pretty good. --- Beer merged from original tick of 8 Ball on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.
