Day 122, November 12

The Offering: Eel River Brewing Co. Earth Thirst Double IPA. California USA

ABV: 8.2%

This is a well titled brew. It smells at tastes like it was born on the forest floor. The nose is strong of sweet malty pine. The malts are medium roast and combine with the hops to make the nose thick. The mouth slightly sweet with strong pine notes mixed with the earthy malts. The mouth is thick sat well, especially for an IPA which is typically thin and crisp. This is definitely more of a meal of an IPA. The finish is more typical of the style, it's bitter and slightly astringent, but the earthy malty base stays with you. Good brew with a great name.

Points: 89

Thanks to Katie

Cheers
