Butte Creek Organic Revolution XI Imperial IPA
A- Pours a clear dark orange hue with a small creamy head that is mostly diminishing, watery lacing sticks somewhat to the glass S- Two words: Grape Nuts, this DIPA has a distinct earthy/dirt/grain aroma that reminds me of bran cereal, the yeasty and sweet malts dominate the citrus hops (the label states 5 kinds of hops used) T- Initial taste is of dry, bitter hops with a mix of pine and citrus, followed by sweet malts and that pervasive herbal/floral presence indicative of Butte Creek's organic take on things, finishes with sweet, sticky hops and a warming alcohol presence M- Medium bodied DIPA, oily and thick mouthfeel sticks to the mouth, nice lively carbonation D- Approaching 9%, you can definitely feel the alcohol warming and I would probably not want to drink more than a few pints, I am surprised at the lack of hop presence in this DIPA, although I may be biased by all the local SD DIPA Hop Nuclear Bomb, and I doubt I will pick this up again
