Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Evil Twin Brewing Molotov
Cocktail Imperial IPA. I picked this
bottle up in Fremont, CA at California Craft Beer (here).
From the Evil Twin Brewing website: “Did you like Before
During and after Christmas, maybe you thought it poured brilliantly, the
alcohol was admirable well hidden and you loved how the arrogant amounts of
hops numbed your mouth. This beer will knock your tongue off - it’s a tour de
force in hoppiness and by far one the craziest beer ever made by Evil Twin
Brewing.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
dark orange with a large light tan head and great lacing.
Aroma: Sweet
caramel and biscuit malts, tropical and citrus hops with just a slight pine
scent.
Taste: Sweet, stone
fruits, caramel and bready malts, citrus and tropical hop bitterness and like
the nose, a slight pine flavor. This is
mostly sweet, but the hop bitterness balances out the sweetness. A bit boozy.
Overall: A solid
Imperial IPA, Evil Twin Brewing Molotov Cocktail Imperial IPA is well worth
trying. This 13% ABV offering is nicely
balanced and although a bit boozy it doesn’t dominate nor detract me from
wanting more. If you’re not a fan of sweeter IPAs steer clear – otherwise pick
some up. I have yet to be disappointed
with Evil Twin Brewing.
Cheers!
