Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Ska Brewing Company & BRASH
Brewing Company Skankin' Dirty Imperial IPA.
From the BRASH Brewing Company website: “We have been friends
with and fans of Ska Brewing from Durango CO for quite a long time, so we
jumped at the chance to collaborate with them. After months of recipe work, our
collaboration is brewed and about to head out to various locations. 9%abv and 129ibu
imperial ipa- Skankin Dirty”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
golden orange with a tall off-white head and loads of spotty lacing.
Aroma: Sweet
caramel and crystal malts combined with pine and tropical hop scents.
Taste: Sweet
caramel malts, bready and crystal malts, tropical fruit hops and piney
hops. Finish is grapefruity and bitter.
Overall: Although
this was a bit on the pricey side, Ska Brewing Company & BRASH Brewing
Company Skankin' Dirty Imperial IPA was well worth trying. This is my first BRASH Brewing Company beer
and my second Ska Brewing Company beer and based on this one I think I’ll be
trying more beers from each brewery in the future. This 9% ABV beast is a good East Coast DIPA
and although I don’t know that it is as good as some of my favorite local DIPAs
I’d suggest trying it for fans of the style.
Cheers!
