I just want to let everyone know that we have gotten a couple of concerns on two of our beers.
First, we had a Bluebeery Ale sent back because it tasted too much like blueberries! We do uses 120lbs of real blueberries per 7bbl of beer, so they might be on to something .
Secondly we after our Imperial IPA went on we had a complaint that it tasted too hoppy! Well not really, it was compared to a west coast IPA. So we stole a few tricks from the west coasters, hop backs, dry hopping, having 8 kettle hop additions. We wanted to wake up those taste buds of you all!
I thought I needed to share that with you all.
Cheers,
Tyler

I didn’t make a complaint Tyler it was a complement. The hop nose is much more pronounced on this batch more of a west coast style which is a good thing for a DIPA .The malt balance is still there in the flavor. So you don’t get that over the top west coast hop bitter and that is a good thing in my book and others judging by the ratings
ReplyDeleteNow the blueberry being to blueberrish (is that a word) that wasn’t me
If people complain, send them over to Red Hook to drink some Sunrye. Possibly the least offensive beer ever brewed.
ReplyDeleteA colleague of mine that moved back from Portland, OR last year loved the Imperial IPA. He actually bought a growler and finished it that night with his wife. I think I forgot to tell him it was 9% ABV, he was in rough shape at 8AM the next day.
IPA's aren't my thing, but I'll drink any and everything else you guys brew.
Joe,

Wow, if anything, I thought the Blueberry had less of a blueberry flavor than in years past.
