Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Bear Republic Brewing Company
Apex Special IPA. I picked this bottle up at Royal Liquors (here).
From the Bear Republic Brewing Company website: “Apex: The
Highest point, the culmination or climax. In racing, the apex of a turn is
approached differently as conditions dictate, but always with a forward looking
mindset. This beer is a culmination of years of brewing and drinking hop
forward IPAs. We reserve the right to move forward, to advance the style to the
next Apex.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a golden copper color with a nice white head and sticky lacing.
Aroma: Citrus,
tropical and pine hops, stone fruit and a solid malt backbone.
Taste: Pine,
citrus and tropical hop flavors and bitterness balanced excellently by caramel
and bready malts.
Overall: The name
says it all and Bear Republic Brewing Company Apex Special IPA is superb! This
8.95% ABV offering should NOT be missed by fans of the style. A NorCal Double IPA at its best!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
