 Thank you for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break this time We're doing an OAT Imperial IPA and this is actually a collaboration It's between half acre beer company and they're out of Chicago, Illinois And the other one is wise acre brewing and I believe they're out of Memphis, Tennessee Yes wise acre out of Memphis, Tennessee So this is a collaboration they say a collaboration of epic proportions. It is called psychedelic pilgrim and the ABV Shoulda she'll look that up ahead of time 11% so this is pretty high There you have it psychedelic pilgrim Some fun artwork on that. That is the psychedelic pilgrim himself having a good old time So let's pop this sucker open see what's working As I pour it obviously it looks like an Imperial IPA. It's very dark Super dark very hazy to very very hazy A little bit of a brownish tinge on the orange in there. It's a nice white head to it You can see some bubbles coming up from the bottom, but they're very small Let's get smelling this Smells very piney like a very deep dark piney aspect You can smell it. There's a lot of a malt sweetness in there There's a little bit of like a guava type note on the nose which smells nice and I Want to say I feel like I get hints of like strawberry for some reason a little odd There's a lot of biscuitty quality on there because of the multi aspect of it as well You can smell a little bit of the ABV in there and there's a tinge of like an orange citrus note There's a lot going on in this beer. It smells really good. Let's try it that's like piney and Citrusy coming together and I actually like I was saying I have that had that strawberry note on the nose for some reason I'm actually tasting a little bit of like a strawberry hint, which is really nice 11% Not quite sure it tastes like 11 maybe something more like 9 so good job on masking the ABV in this It's got a very present mouth feel to it as you would assume from an 11% Imperial IPA It's almost a tad bit chewy, but that's good There's a decent pine aspect in there the bready Quality of it like I said that little bit of like a strawberry and there's that kind of citrusy orange aspect Coming through as well. There's also a little bit of a grassy quality in there as well This is there's a lot of complex flavors coming together in this beer and it's very pleasing It's very pleasing to my taste buds. I'm enjoying this quite a bit So I don't know if I would quite go as far as to say it's an epic collaboration, but it's a very good collaboration So why is acre well done half acre well done? They both have acre in the name. So how could they not you know collaborate? Well, anyway mmm, I Know this is kind of a limited release thing So if anyone else out there is able to find it or you've already had it Hopefully you enjoyed it or will be able to enjoy it. I would recommend it. It's very nice Anyway, thank you everyone for checking this out. Thank you half acre and wise acre for making a nice tasty beer and thank you Chris Quinn at craft beer temple for Selling online because that's where I got this from anyway Thanks everyone for checking this out and go have yourself an awesome beer
