beer_name: Bigger Hop IPA
text: I enjoyed this from a 1L swingtop into a tulip. The color is golden with extremely hazed appearance kind of like lemon juice with rocky cap of white and spray of lace all over with ultra fine bead. The smell is mild with lots of kumquat and bitter grass with a slight malt sweetness in the aroma and alcohol ester accenting. The feel is bitter with some slight malt accents that seem more dry and the alcohol presence is there with a drying finish, tangy with a slightly astringent aspect that gives a edge with mild earthy nutty undertones. The bigger hop taste is good with some bitter orange and mild grassy elements from the hops with s slight malt body and generally strong bitter flavor, the astringent flavor is kept in check but there is a grassy note that combines with the mild citrus in the taste to give a pleasant overall hop that is bitter yet outweighs any alcohol that might creep into the flavor as it warms. This has a taste that is slightly acidic, but the grassy tannic aspect stands out with an overall good taste and drinkability, but only a little better than average in the overall scheme of things, I enjoyed this bottle and found it to be pretty decent in terms of an American Imperial IPA.
