Let’s go exploring! Where? How about…..the World! With a spaceman on the can I guess they are telling us the world is not enough.* I’ve been around the world once or twice and let me tell you, the novelty has worn off. So these days if someone says “Let’s go exploring” my reply is “let’s not”, unless of course it’s exploring new brews, in which case count me in. I find exploring new brews more interesting, less stressful, and my luggage doesn’t get lost. Let’s face it, the world is not what it used to be. Maybe the world is not enough, but It’s just too much.
Eastbound and down**, they’re loaded up and truckin’, and servin’ up a dry on the double. A world class pour, golden globe golden with a healthy hoppy head above the 49th parallel***. Hop on board? Yes, more than a few, with an aroma of hoppy pine bitters. The taste is hoppy pine with a nice fruit following, an opposite to usual sequence and a nice surprise that works well. Zing and tropical fruit in that order, tasty and refreshing. A nice full mouthfeel to it. It settles into a nice juicy IPA. This Eastbound got downed.
I think I will stick to exploring the world…of craft beer. And stick a flag in this one, because this double dry hopped IPA has turned out to be a great discovery
