Another rogue trip to Kingsville, wandering and wondering what their IPA will be like. Kingsville claims that their beers are for those that wander, maybe this beer will be the Rosie on Dion’s chest, or will Kingsville be U2’s city without a soul?*
This brew pours old penny copper dark, darker than most IPAs. By the way, do you still have a bunch of pennies you can’t get rid of? You would think when people realize it costs more to produce then it’s worth is when the penny would drop, to “coin” a phrase.** I expect the price of a thought has gone up as well. Penny wise, pound foolish I guess.
Where was I? Fruit aroma with hops, old school perhaps. My nose has been unreliable lately, better wait for the taste test. A mild fruit body, very slick, with a hoppy bitter minor zing on the back nine. A traditional IPA, not much wondering or wandering going on from the classic recipe I suspect. A fruit front and a mildly bitter hoppy floral finish. An easy swigging refreshing body with a bit of zing at the end to remind you of where you are and what you’re up to. A solid traditional IPA.
