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.

On tap at Belmont Station Bier Cafe, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is very dank, with loads of pot-like hops, a touch of citrus tang, and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is clean, robust and balanced, with a big punch of dank piney hops, some gentle citrus / vinous tang from the Nelson, and just enough sweet maltiness to provide balance. Sturdy, robust and beautifully constructed. Amazingly easy to drink for what it is. Excellent.

Bomber from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours lightly copper tinged gold with a creamy white head. Champagne type bubbles from the bottom of the New Belgium tulip. Interesting aroma of pale stone fruit and significant caramel. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly biting pale stone fruit with mildly roasty malt - very mildly. Lots of fruitiness in a dry and bitter way. Clearly there are enormous amounts of hop, but they don't seem to wonder far from fruit for me. Dry and bitter. The best way to go. Five minutes after the foregoing: I'm getting a little cyanide taste - like one can get from apricot pits. Not dangerous, but mentally exhilarating.
