Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Auburn Ale House PU240 Imperial
IPA.
From the Auburn Ale House website: “Named after the
isotope essential for nuclear grade weapons, this “Weapons Grade Ale” is the
hop bomb you didn’t see coming!
At 100 bittering units, PU240 captures the explosive hop
flavor and aroma necessary to achieve a Critical Mass that you won’t find in
other high-hop ales. A classified and combustible amount of Summit and Galena
hops along with a double Dry-hop bombardment of Simcoe, Columbus and Nugget
contribute to PU240’s high rate of spontaneous hop fusion.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
clear copper/orange color with a small beige head and great soapy lacing.
Aroma: Citrus and
pine hops, biscuit, sweet caramel and a touch of crystal malts.
Taste: Citrus (grapefruit,
orange, tangerine), mango, and pine hop flavors are balanced nicely with sweet
caramel and biscuit malts.
Overall: I completely
enjoyed the bottled Auburn Ale House PU240 Imperial IPA and have enjoyed it on
tap at the Auburn Ale House. This 8% ABV IIPA is malty, hoppy and delicious. I
highly recommend trying this one.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
