Ithaca Beer Co. » Hazed In Captivity (Wild IPA) | ABV: 6.3% | Rating: 9/10
After a solid anniversary meal at the new Istanbul Turkish restaurant, my partner and I headed straight down to the Ithaca Beer Taproom. I'd heard about their just-released 100% Brettanomyces IPA, dry-hopped with Galaxy & Nelson Sauvin and knew there was no way I could miss this latest, draft-only 5-Barrel series brew.
Bright white head sits atop its pale, hazy straw body, pluming bright, sweet citrus and pine hop aromas. Onto the lips, bright Brett notes prevail - firm barnyard flavors are up front and in the finish with plenty of earthy notes threaded the whole way through along with a touch of hay. It's fumey, funky, and closes with a bone dry finish.
A dynamic, flavorful hop-forward summer brew for Brett lovers. Drinkable, a touch fruity, wild, yet tastefully contained.
