Description
WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH A BEER, YOU’RE AFTER SOMETHING. Maybe it’s nuanced layers of flavor, the siren call of a favorite hop, or to test your skill identifying stone fruit tasting notes. Maybe you’re chasing the new or craving the familiar, perhaps you just want to kick back for a drink with friends—and order another of the same. At Bearded Iris, our beers meet you where you are and deliver the experience you seek, whatever it might be, because that’s what we believe makes beer worth drinking. CULTIVATE VARIETY DRIVES US AT BIBCO. (WE’RE NOT KIDDING.) With a menu that skews heavily toward IPAs, DIPAs, and pales, it can appear that we don’t, in fact, cultivate much “variety.” But here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink. Every time. Regardless of style. To us, that’s the variety worth cultivating. And that’s what we bring to your table.

Draft at Station1, Springfield, OH. Hazy medium orange-brown body, thin cream head. Aroma and body sweet with candied papaya with underlying herbal/onion notes. Seemed a bit lifeless.

Can at home, many thanks to the Wingmane, 26/07/22. Murky orange with a slowly dissipating white crown formed of tightly knit bubbles. Nose is orange zest, grass, melon, papaya, soft malts, light pine nip. Taste comprises mixed tropical fruits, papaya, mango, melon, orange zest. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking IPA.

Interesting IPA, striking a balance between juicy veins of grapefruit, mandarin, stone fruit, and papaya and a bitter, more floral side, offering up solid notes of pine and herb on the back end. Finishes with a moderate bitterness and lingering citrus pith. Could use more depth with the malt--I wish the wheat played a larger part--but still a nice pint.

Tavour can: pours slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruitiness, light wheaty notes. Taste is citrusy, lightly sweet. Pleasant. Not memorable.

Big and fruity, offering up heroic doses of grapefruit, peach, lime zest, passion fruit, berry, and a little dank, with a hearty pine vein on the back end leading to a firm bitterness in the finish. Fairly dry for a triple IPA; no overbearing sweetness here. Solid pint.

$4.99 Pint can, TWF. Lightly hazy with a white head that slims down quickly. Lemony dishsoap, mango, dandelion nose. Flavor is lemon zest, wet paper, greens. Rather plain. Surprised by the higher rating.

Not much IPA behind the initial rush of blueberry, grapefruit, and papaya. Finishes with a hint of lingering berry tartness and little else. Eh.
