Setouchi 2022 IPA I am kind of wondering if the name is referring to the 2022 edition of the art biennale… Hazy honey gold with a thick fluffy bright white head of foam. It’s got a rich aroma of woodsy prickly pear with dank fruitiness. Full bodied and smooth with a juicy woodsy fruitiness up front then a dank bitterness in the finish. Some elements seem to be on the haze spectrum but others feel more standard ipa so I’d say this is roughly a mountain ipa. Good stuff, I’m quite happy and impressed with this new brewery. I look forward to trying more of their stuff.
