look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Until tonight I had issues completing the Top 5 as number 2 Masala Mama from Town Hall Brewery was draft or growler only.
I was unsuccessful in my last trip to Minnesota as it was "too late and far" to go with my brother, never mind that we ended up waiting over 40 minutes where we went.
So special thanks to chixdighops for the growler of Masala Mama for a growler of Knucklesandwich.
It arrived tonight and thanks to the cold temperatures was pretty cold. an hour in the fridge while I worked on the keezer was plenty of time to get it to IPA enjoying temperature.
Appearance: Pours a beautiful amber color with a fluffy cloud of head (I'm actually pretty impressed as it was fill on Monday) into my Squatters Imperial Pint. Solid head retention with very nice lacing.
Aroma: I'm a little stuffy but the hop aroma blasts through but in no way over powering, I would guess it is little dry hopped.
Taste: Yup this is a solid IPA, not overly bitter and well balanced. Bonnie says that is is "ooh smooth" and for the most part I agree. It reminds me a lot of Furious in taste and appearance which is not a bad thing.
Mouthfeel: Beautiful
Drinkability: Awesome, at around 6 this is a prefect multiglass IPA!
Now that I have creaked the Top 5 its time to work on both filling the top 20 and getting reviews in place for all
Serving type: growler
