Greetings beer fans. I'm ashamed to state that I've started to like IPAs. So we are going to have some posts about those. (Renee says that liking IPAs is a sign of maturity. Hmm, maybe.)
I bought a 12 pack of Elysian IPAs and it's the variety pack. I thought about getting the blog going again about 90% of the way through the 12 pack, so there won't be posts about most of those.
Up today is the Elysian Contact Haze,
6% Alcohol
Nice hints of citrus.
Not too bitter.
All around a reasonable drink without any of the sour taste I associate with IPAs. But as I drink it, the citrus seems to drop into the background. I don't see wanting to drink two of these. I suspect the low alcohol level also makes it taste a bit thin.
So, maybe a nice hot day drink. It won't cloud the head with the lack of alcohol and the first flavor tones seem to recede with each mouthful. A bit disappointing is my conclusion.
