Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Santa Clara Valley Brewing
Electric Tower IPA. I picked this bottle up at Caps & Taps in Dublin (here).
Commercial description: “Built in 1881 to showcase the
electrification of the west, San Jose’s Electric Light Tower stood for over 30
years as a shinning star above the Santa Clara Valley. Our Electric Tower IPA
reimagines this icon as an intensely West Coast Style IPA. A firm malt base
builds support for the abundance of hops, allowing hints of pine, citrus and
tropical fruit to shine through and light up your palate!”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a clear copper color with large slightly off-white head and nice lacing.
Aroma: Citrus,
pine and tropical hops.
Taste: Nice hop
flavor – pineapple, orange, mango, pine with toasted and caramel malts to balance
this beer.
Overall: Santa
Clara Valley Brewing Electric Tower IPA is a solid West Coast Style IPA. At 7.1% ABV this beer is definitely worth
finding and trying. I’m looking forward
to more Santa Clara Valley Brewing offerings!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
