New Beer Blog New Belgium Citradelic Tangerine IPA

In this beer blog, we are going to get into a new beer from New Belgium Brewery. It is their new everyday beer, which is called Citradelic Tangerine IPA. Fruit IPA’s will be a new trend in 2016 in the beer world. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know this craft brewery. Let us get into this IPA.

It has a clear golden color with a semi on constant white head. The aroma has a juicey tangerine to slight citrus and a light hint of grapefruit notes. The taste has a slight caramel and moves into a juicey tangerine to slight hints of citrus to grapefruit notes. The aftertaste has a caramel to tangerine notes finish. It is not as bitter. The fruit cuts through the IPA bitterness. It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.newbelgium.com):

Tune in and hop out with New Belgium Citradelic. Set adrift on a kaleidoscopic wave of hoppiness brought to you by a mystical marriage of Citra hops and tangerine peel, which elevates each sip onto a plane of pure tropical, fruity pleasure. Citradelic’s namesake hop and fruit combine to jam with visions of additional hops like citrusy Mandarina Bavaria, tropical Azzaca, and fruity Galaxy for a colorful explosion that’s grounded by just a touch of malty sweetness. Bored by the status quo? Expand your palate with a pour of Citradelic. Launching January 2016.

Closing, just what I said above, we are going to see more and more fruit IPA’s hitting the market. We are going to see more grapefruit IPA’s more than anything. I was happy to see one craft brewery made something a little different for their Fruit IPA. They put some thought and came up with several recipes to get this beer right. This beer has a nice balance between the bitterest and fruit notes. Fruit IPA’s do not have the heavy bitter notes like the normal IPA. I believe this IPA style will go over really well with the non IPA drinkers. I love it. This is one of the best fruit IPA’s on the market. I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

New Beer Blog Perrin Black Ale

In this beer blog, we are going to get into another brew from Perrin Brewery. It is their Black Ale. This beer was a Black Lager. They changed this beer to an ale to keep up with demand. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this Michigan craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Midwest craft brewery. Let us get into this black ale.

It has a jet black color with a tan color head at first that disappears over time. The smell has a chocolate with coffee like notes. The taste of this light body ale has a chocolate to coffee like notes. It has a heavy malty notes but still light like a light Lager. The aftertaste has a nutty finish that hangs around. It is extremely drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.perrinbrewing.com):

Perrin Black ABV 5.8% IBU 25

The Black Ale is low in gravity, clean, crisp, and flavor-filled; giving off a bread-like aroma. This beer proves that deep colors do not signify rich potency. Our Black Ale is deceptively light on the tongue.

Closing, this brewery is one of my favorite craft breweries in the State Of Michigan. I am a fan of Petoskey Brewery, Right Brain, Frankenmuth Brewery, and Canton Brew Works. The goal for this craft brewery is to brew beers that are drinkable and does not matter the beer style. I will say they did a great job on this brew. This is not my favorite beer style. I am not saying this is a bad beer. It is a really good beer and respect what they did with this beer. I can see many people liking this beer. I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Cheers!

In this beer blog, we are going to sample 98 Problems IPA from Perrin Brewery. This is the first time that this craft brewery is being featured on this blog. Here is a little history on this brewery. Perrin Brewery was founded in 2012 just outside of Comstock, Michigan. Their goal is to make drinkable and session-able beers. They were sold to Osckar Blues in 2015.

In the end, this is a pretty young craft brewery in Michigan. They are starting to make some noise around the state and country. I know many people outside of the State of Michigan that want their beers. They are the guys that started the whole Grapefruit IPA trend. I love this beer. I might be drinking this more when it is in package than Goose Island IPA. There is a nice balance in this India Pale Ale. Untappd says it is an American IPA. I believe it is like Goose Island IPA. They are both English style India Pale Ales. They use Michigan grown hops but they are all original from Europe. I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Metal it! Enjoy it! \m/

Cheers!
