Great IPAs

I have been enjoying some wonderful hoppy brews lately.

First mention goes to the new 6pk offering from Sierra Nevada. – Torpedo IPA.

Wicked.    Great bitterness, and just enough to nuke your tongue so follow up sips seem “not THAT bitter”   The mouthfeel has the perfect balance of malt to prop up the hops, and dryness that makes you go back for another glup.   The Aromas LEAP out of the glass and smell of fresh hops not oxidized nasty metalic grossness.

Also when you can get a relatively fresh bottle of Titan IPA from Great Divide, that’d be tops.  Same with Odells.   Other comerical standbys are The GooseIsland IPA and Redhook.

It’s time to be thinking of beers to brew this spring and I’ve got some columbus and  Bravo hops I have to use up.
