 Thank you for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break today. We have another beer I've never had any actually never mind. I take the back. I've had one beer by this brewery It was their Jack Dore It is pretty things beer and ale project out of West Port, Massachusetts And this is their Meadowlark IPA, which is 7% alcohol by buy up. Sorry. Yeah, alcohol by buying Anyway, this beer just everyone knows was actually bottled back in February So it's a little bit older than I want IPA's to be I got it from craft beer Kings calm I got about a month ago. So I probably should have drank it right then But still when I got it it was a little outside of the window that I like, but we'll see so that disclaimer with this So it might not be totally indicative of what the the beer is typically like Already see that it's pouring pretty orange-ish Which means there's a nice multi-presence in the beer See it's very nice pretty large bubbles. It's got a pretty present head very carbonated. I see a lot coming up from the bottom Like I said very orangey soon we can get on the nose. Oh Lot of grapefruit aspect in there grapefruit The actual fruit of it the peel Oh, it smells good. It's got a little bit of a nice malty nose to it a little caramely with the malt That's a little bit of kind of like a hay kind of wheat type finish on the nose as well But it smells relatively vibrant and it smells like the type of IPA that I really like which is you know a nice citrusy Medium bitter IPA with a nice malt backbone to it with a little bit of caramaliness on the finish So we'll see what it tastes like the hops have died down a little bit, but it's still good I get a very sweet aspect on it. It's kind of like a Tangerine type mouthfeel but with a little bit of sugar added to it. I'm sorry not mouthfeel flavor I'm getting a yeah medium bitterness the bitterness is not a control I get a little bit of a grassy aspect as well with it Yeah, and that nice kind of caramely malt finishes in there as well. This is a solid beer I really wish I would have tried it, you know, very very fresh But part of that was outside of my control and you know one month of it was within my control But I kind of screwed that up because I didn't look at the at the date code I figured it'd be better longer, but it's still good and I am still gonna drink this and It is relatively cold at the moment So I'm assuming that as it heats up a little bit more It's going to be even more vibrant with the citrusy notes so should be even better in a little bit, but this this is a good one and Pretty things is the second thing I've had by you and the first one I remember enjoying the Jack door was a saison and I really enjoyed that. It was very clean and crisp and This is a very nice Mult-backbone Citrusy IPA so glad I finally got to taste it pretty things great job and Everybody thank you so much for checking out this episode If there are beers that you want to see me do for this video or for the actual podcast Go ahead send an email brood about a podcast edgymail.com and we'll see what we can do to accommodate you Or you can send them into me as well if you want to go that route Because maybe we won't be able to get it where we are because we can't get everything on the East Coast, you know Anyway, thanks everyone for checking this out and go ahead yourself an awesome beer
