2018 Advent - December 25 Brut Force IPA

Post by ErictheGreat » Wed Dec 26, 2018 6:26 pm

I was supposed to post this up weeks ago. Better late than ever.

This beer was a collaboration between 1029 Brewing's Brian Harvey and Brathair Brewing's Justin Clarke and Eric Gautier.

The idea for this beer was "mimosa" - orange juice and champagne. I think it turned out great! I would brew this again with some minor modifications.


The recipe:

Dry as a bone! I liked it a lot. I would like to brew this and dry hop it. Thanks for sharing.

Fairly strong citrus hop character on the nose. Bitterness is kinda intense. Decent malt presence and hop character on the palate leading to an almost soapy finish. I think some of that is the dankness of Mosaic clashing a little with the rest of the beer, but I'm starting to think there's some effects of the enzyme used for this style that needs to be mitigated.

Anyways, while I didn't love it, it gave me a bunch to think about, which is always valuable. Thanks for the share!
