Year of New Beer: Big Swell IPA, Maui Brewing (HI)

Written By: Dion on 04/22/2015

Ripened pineapple, buttery toffee, and traces of pine on the nose. On the tongue, citrusy hops lead the way as a fairly significant bitterness rips the taste buds before succumbing ever so slightly to a sweeter, bready malt. The sugars balance the mid-palate somewhat before a harsh, evergreen bite returns on the finish. Good, but not great. Would like to try this a little fresher.
