Beer of the Weekend #1,075: Trippin'
The beer of the weekend is Trippin’, brewed by the Dimensional Brewing Company of Dubuque, Iowa.
Serving type: 16-ounce can. No freshness date.
Appearance: Poured into a nonic pint glass. The color is medium gold. A finger and a half of buttery, eggshell-colored, bubbly head leaves a thick collar and trails of foam on the glass. I have to say that the pour was luscious and beautiful.
Smell: It is subtle but citrusy and hoppy. It is not bombastic or over the top. Grapefruit, mandarin orange, a touch of kiwi, and maybe some peach.
Taste: Subtle but smooth and very crushable. It is very much like the aroma with grapefruit, mandarin orange, kiwi, and a touch of peach.
Fun facts about Trippin’:
• Style: West Coast IPA.
• Price: $15.99 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans at John’s Grocery in Iowa City.
• Alcohol content: 6.8 percent ABV.
• I really dig the label, especially the car. It looks like an Oldsmobile Cutlass (which I had to look up because I did not remember the name).
The Quiet Man’s grade: A-.
