Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Knee Deep Brewing Company
Breaking Bud IPA.
From the Knee Deep Brewing Company website: “Old school meets new
school in this fresh approach to the classic IPA. At 50 IBU’s and 6.7%
ABV, Breaking Bud features the restrained bitterness and alcohol of a classic
IPA with newer tropical fruit hop flavors and aromas of Mosaic. Also in the
hop mix are Simcoe and CTZ, creating layers of mango, passion fruit, pine and
dank. A malt bill with a pinch of crystal malt and a hefty dose of flaked
wheat keeps the beer crisp while adding flavor complexity.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a clear golden color with a frothy white head and excellent lacing.
Aroma: Tropical,
citrus, pine and earthy hop scents with just a touch of malt grain and
sweetness in the nose.
Taste: Malt
sweetness and grain upfront balanced nicely with citrus, tropical and grassy
hop notes with just a touch of stone fruit.
Overall: Easy
drinking and crisp, Knee Deep Brewing Company Breaking Bud IPA is
refreshing. This 6.5% ABV offering is
yet another fantastic beer from Knee Deep Brewing Company.
Cheers!
