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.

7.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Tasty DIPA, bursting with peach, passion fruit, citrus zest, and papaya, backed up by bubblegum, berry, mint, and a slight grainy sweetness. Stays a little sugary on the back end, and the booze is pretty apparent for the ABV, but otherwise a nice pint.

Very nice IPA, well-rounded and bright, with crisp notes of papaya, mandarin, peach, white grape, and grapefruit, followed up by a slight pine bitterness on the finish and a clean fade. I could stand for the back end to up the bitter quotient, but otherwise a great IPA.

Can (10/7/21) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with no sparkle, finger-width white fluffy foam head with excellent retention and soapy rings of lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, particularly orange, tropical fruit, pineapple. Taste is strong sweet nonspecific fruit, mild grape. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, strong sweet aroma and taste but fairly nonspecific.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour with a fine, white creamy head. Fruity, citrusy aroma, hoppy, bitter, strong. Taste is all of that, more ABV notes, full. Bitterness hits the palate and stays there. Really, really nice.

16 oz. can. Dated 10-07-21. Aroma is candied orange, peach-like and malty. Flavor of peach candy, mild orange, soft tangerine. IMO, easy to drink and slightly above average. Well made but nothing earth shattering.
