Bout that itch up your nose this week? Yeah, the return of Nose Goblin can be felt for miles around The Town. The most brazen masterpiece of all the West Coast Imperial IPAs, Nose Goblin is a chest-pounding, head-thumping, 9.2% ABV rocking with Nelson + Mosaic + Strata Hops. Nose Goblin will throttle your olfactory system with crazy aromatics before a pummeling overt dankness and heavy notes of Blueberry Reduction, Mandarine, and Deez.

Burk i hemmet . Efter varit i köplahamn har jag nu testad ett gäng Dipor såklart . Här har vi den bästa hittills . Lite krusbär , tydligt vitt vin (troligen från Nelson humlen) och perfekt balans mellan sötma och beska. Mycket välgjord . Nu över 2200 Dipor testade så denna tillhör lätt översta 25% Än .
För övrigt faaaan vad ratebeer saknas en ölsite som var gjord för ölnördar .

Poured from a 16 oz can dated December 27, 2024.
Aroma is hop forward and fairly oily and dank. Solid amounts of fruity hop notes with passion fruit, gooseberry, and citrus. Lots of dank, fusel notes with diesel, cat piss, and pine resin. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes.
Pours a fairly clear, yellow-gold with a medium large, moderately thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Medium lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness with medium light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of grapefruit pith with lighter notes of passion fruit and berry. Fairly strong dank, resin, pine notes present themselves towards the finish and linger.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid DIPA. Tons of super oily nelson character in the aroma with lighter fruity hop notes. Flavor has a more citrus forward hop character but with a ton of pine resin darkness in the finish. Balanced sweetness and bitterness. Alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Poured from the tap @ Ghost Town. Clear gold with minimal white head. Lots of tangy Nelson hops with mild pine and dankness. Enjoyable.
