Unearthly (Imperial India Pale Ale)
Unearthly pours up with ample carbonation that creates a short-lived tannish-white head that adorns the bright orangish amber-copper body. The aroma is zesty with citrus fruits (blood orange, tangerine, white grapefruit) followed by some floral spiciness. An earthy (pine nuts, tall grass, evergreen) component along with some intagibles add to the overall complexity. Alcoholic warmth noted. The big maltiness is eventually brought under control by a balanced bitterness that defines the bittersweet, toasty finish. This medium-full bodied DIPA borderlines on a "stock ale" IMO so far as style, but nontheless provides the tastebuds with unsurpassed quality. Unearthly creates an "Out of this World" drinking experience for hop worshippers. Here's to an uninhibited infusion of hops. CHEERS! Beertracker
