Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA
San Francisco, CA
6.5% ABV
Appearance: Cloudy yellow appearance, thick white head that floats on top of the beer. Head leaves significant lacing, no effervescence. 4.5/5
Smell: The refreshing aroma of crisp white hops. Beautiful cascade aroma, with hints of a grapefruity goodness underneath. It's not balanced, but for hopheads it's pretty amazing. 4.0/5
Taste: Again, mostly hops with a slight grapefruit underbelly. Slightly dry on the finish, but goes down clean with only a slight bitterness. 4.0/5
Mouthfeel: Thin and easy-to-drink. The hops are very present but not painful to the palate. Low carbonation. 3.5/5
Drinkability: I know I've complained about "liquid hop-juice" before, but this one is a nicely constructed West Coast IPA. It's pretty much pure hops, but sometimes that's exactly what you want in a beer. For hopheads only. 4.5/5
Overall: 4.1/5
