 Thanks for joining me for this episode of brutal battle beer break today going with another beer and can this one is by Temperance beer company. They're out of Evanston, Illinois And this beer is called gatecrasher and gatecrasher is an English style IPA I was told this beer is actually a medal winner from the great American beer festival 2014 I didn't really check that myself, but Usually when I hear those things I would just believe them Because who's gonna lie about that? 6.6% alcohol by volume for this since it is an English style IPA I'm assuming it's gonna be significantly more multi and have a lot more earthy piney type notes and there it goes if everyone could see it's getting Hmm up here really wants to get out of that can well We'll see what this means I can bet it's gonna have a decent amount of head to it and tell you that much I had another gusher not long ago on an episode. I forget which beer it was but What's going on here? I think it was the grotzer that I had by Westbrook. So go ahead and check that out Oh, anyway showed you can oh look. It's people's legs. I don't know some designs. I'm just like Okay, so the coloration is probably what you would assume for an IPA Very amber deep deep orange-ish coloration. It's very Very clear. You can see right through it. There's no sediment in there very filtered There is a citrusy aspect to the nose But there's also a decent amount of Maltiness and some piney aspect earthy Definitely gonna be like a deeper multi or IPA which you know, you'd expect for English style IPA's Trying to see if I can pick out anything else, but it's just kind of like some citrus and some earthy piney-ness Smells good though. I think it smells like it's pretty balanced between that kind of earthy note and the citrusy note Let's see pretty clean to be honest for an earthier English style IPA Not bad you get a little bit of the citrus kind of peeking through on the end But upfront it's very malty It's very earthy Because obviously, you know, if you know what malt tastes like it's pretty earthy aspect But the like I said the citrus is peeking out just a little bit. The body is nice and present It's kind of like a medium body and for not being like a Imperial or anything Hmm, I'm not a massive fan about of this because you know, if you know me and you know the way I am on the podcast I typically really like the more citrus forward IPA's but Knowing what I was getting into with this Not bad. This is this is more of like an easy sipping IPA in my opinion the flavors are not crazy like I said, you know Earthiness and a little bit of citrus and I and the actually the bitterness is not out of kilter either Which is pretty nice So I feel like this is a type of IPA you could just keep having a sip a sip a sip a sip and keep going and in No time just be like oh man that I just finished that whole can not because it's like oh god It tastes so good, but it's one of those situations where maybe you're engaged in a conversation And you're just not paying attention There's nothing about this beer that's going to slow you down from drinking it because it's very harmonious, and it's easy to drink so Say what you will about that Maybe it's for you. Maybe it's not for you for me. I don't think I'd seek it out But if somebody was giving it to me, I think I'd say yeah, thanks I'll take that and I'll drink it and have no problem with it. So temperance beer company not a bad English IPA Thank you very much. Everybody. Thanks for checking this video out and go have yourself an awesome beer
