Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Backstreet Brewery Tomahawk
Double IPA. I picked this bottle up in Palm Desert.
From the Backstreet Brewery website: “This style
originated in San Diego, California and has since swept the nation. An all-around
heavy hitting beer in which the high IBUs, alcohol and extremely dry finish
deliver a serious “Hop Chop” across the palette. With nearly three pounds of
hops per barrel, Tomahawk DIPA may put some hair on your head or possibly the
opposite. Dry hopped with Mosaic, Wakatu and Waimea hops.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a hazy copper color with a thin off-white head and splotchy lacing.
Aroma: Grapefruit
and other citrus aromas, some tropical and pine and sweet malts.
Taste: Sweet and
biscuit malts, grapefruit/citrus hops and slight pine and tropical hop flavors.
Overall: Backstreet
Brewery Tomahawk Double IPA has a nice hop/malt balance and at 9.2% ABV is not
boozy at all.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
