This IIPA, the latest addition in our hop-highlighting NvU Epic Battle series, has a bright, fresh hop aroma, and a subtle bitterness, that has us all talking about how crushable this is. (DISCLAIMER: Please do not actually crush beer while still in bottle and cap is still on. It will hurt…not that we know) Drink early, drink often.

The Well Brooklyn. Mörkt klassisk ipa färgad. Ja typ Oppigård Thurbo färg. Fyllig i munnen och smaker av torkade frukter. Blåa druvor . Jääätefin lång smakrik eftersmak. Beska perfekt och lågt kolsyrad såklart.. Ja inte överraskad då Pioeworks gjort flera världsklass Dipa . Denna Amarillo Dipa likadan . Lite varm känsla i munnen. Så här ska fyllig Dipa smaka

Bomber. Creamy malt nose, peaches, orange, vanilla. Creamy malty flavor, stone fruits, good bitterness, very peppery, apple. Mellow and smooth. Malty as hell but not cloying.

Large, bottle conditioned-induced white head is well retained atop a somewhat hazy apricot-peach colored body with plentiful carbonation.
Full-on lush, leafy hoppiness seems fresh and very unfined. Especially fresh. Amarillo hops are pretty touchy and here we have tons of tangerine and light cherry notes with touches of marmalade and only a hint of pine on the end. Seemingly well-attenuated with only some light white bread and a hint of caramel. A touch of yeastiness, but it’s passing and the lovely hop extraction more than outshines it. As well, the alcohol is shockingly well-hidden for this level.
The flavor is a fruit cocktail of cherry, lime, grapefruit and plentiful but not overdone honey and light caramel malt sweetness. Well-balanced and with an appropriate bitterness drying out the finish and giving it a pleasant zestiness, all with tight, engaging carbonation helping to clear the palate. Some touches of yeast blandness here and there and maybe tending a touch too astringent/dry (gasp!) at times, but the hop flavor is incredible, the production on the beer is top-notch and yet it still retains its fresh, unfiltered feel to it. Really easy drinking and aside from just a hint of pine sap building up by the end of the bottle, quite free from that menace.
I’m sad I didnt try more pipeworks beers while I was in Chicago, but there’s always next time.
