Brooklyn Blast

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Brooklyn, New York USA

Tap - handpump: Flatish body, some sweet toasted malt flavor up front. Hoppying lingering bitter at the end. Nice British ale style with great hop character. Alcohol was fairly hidden. Nice one.

Orange w/ peachy highlights. Some lacing. White head. Some pinetrees and ugli fruit in the aroma. Citrusy hops mixed with floral hops. Unfortunate alcohol bite at the finish that cheapens the experience. By the end of the pint it starts to get abrasive and soapy.

Draft at Tyler’s, Durham. Very nice pour, like a IIPA with a deep amber color. Fluffy head, potent nose with a big hop fist to the face. Intense pine and citrus that don’t back off, even with some mild protestation from the malts. A slight sour pucker and a very long finish. This one’s pretty good, but not something I’d have too often.

Draft...amber-golden color, cloudy, with thick white head, massive hoppiness which though delicious sticks with you. It actually rendered the usually tasty Belgian dubbel I drank afterwards virtually tasteless. So my advice is - if you like hops drink this but if you plan to try other beers during a session drink this one last!

hazy golden orange with a sticky head. huge hop floweral aroma. big hoppy taste upfront that falls into a sweet finsi. medium mouthfeel with a nice lingering bittrness. sweetness was interesting and the big hop notes were nce but together they seemed slightly off.

(Tap @ Brooklyn Brewery) Described by the tour guide as a triple IPA. Pours a shade of orange with a dense white head. Strong aroma of pine and citrus hops. Taste is similar, with a sweet malty character that is slightly cloying. This throws off the balance a bit. A good beer, but could have been a little less sweet. Still has a decent hoppiness that imparts a long, bitter finish.

Draught. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Fruity hoppy citrus aroma with some piney hints. Sweet malty hoppy pine needle flavor with some citrus hints. Sweet malty finish with some piney hints. Has a bitter aftertaste.
