The Brew: IPA
Availability: draft only
ABV: 6.5% // IBUs: 65
Rating: 8.5/10
Location: Felicia's Atomic Lounge
The Story? After taking two carloads of friends through Inuat Hauntings production, I met up with my partner and her sister at Felicia's for a couple rounds to close out the enjoyably cooling evening.
#1 on the list for the night was Bell's Two-Hearted on tap, however I was pleasantly pleased to see they'd just tapped a keg of Bacchus' IPA. I shared my thoughts on Bacchus' new Flora's Fate Pale, but hadn't had a chance to do so with their IPA. Additionally, this brewery is only 20 mins from where I work, so a stop in will be warranted in the near future.
The Beer? This one is dank, bitter, and prominently floral right out of the gate. There's a touch of grapefruit and other citrus notes threaded through this IPA, but floral flavors and dark bitterness is the star of this show.
The firm bitterness retains throughout, but smooths a bit to let some malt characteristics and allows you to take note of the admirably full mouthfeel supported by mid-level carbonation. A solid suggestion to any IPA fan in the region.
