Good karma: provide the COM with free beer. Bad karma: refuse to breakdown a six pack for a single sampling (you know who you are).* My experience is most people practice neutral karma, that being do nothing and nothing happens good or bad.
As far as this brew goes, if it’s good, that’s good karma for Great Lakes Brewery. They imported some Kiwi Superdelic™ hops for this experiment in psychedelic suds. New Zealand hops, from the land down under the land down under.
A pretty pour this one, radiant golden with a perfectly proportioned bright white head. Hoppy candy on the nose, interesting, sweets for the sweet. Wow, the first swig is sweet and saucy, sweet juice and a mild hoppy finish, an interesting combination. The sweet is on a retreat to simply subtle sweets with a juicy fruit body and humble hops on the finish. As progress is made the high IBU starts to introduce some hoppy bitters, sweets gone. A unique combination to start with that settled into a more traditional IPA. It maintained balance throughout and was quite enjoyable, generating good karma and COM kudos for GLB.
