Devils Backbone Brut IPA: Changing Our Perception of Beer

When sipping the Devils Backbone Brut IPA, it’s clear that we aren’t just tasting any run-of-the-mill brew. This IPA, with a 95/100 score, is almost radically pushing the boundaries of traditional beer and urging us towards a refreshing new horizon. The brewers have been bold in their creativity, incorporating scintillating citrus and white-grape notes into the hops. This cheerful concoction results in a drink that glimmers with an understated elegance.

First Impressions

Kicking things off, the aroma has a solid 12 points. Refreshing notes of mango and nectarine from the hops instantly fill the air, preparing us for a fruity adventure. Moving towards its appearance, this IPA managed to bag 3 points with its sparkly exterior and bubbly personality.

Flavor and Mouthfeel

Diving in, the flavor is an exciting exploration of fruits, registering 19 points. There’s an initial burst of luscious peach and nectarine, followed by a sweetly fruity finish. Perhaps the only downside here is the mouthfeel, which amounts to only 4 points. Despite lively carbonation, the beer comes off as slightly thin and underwhelming in this aspect. There is a noticeable lack of malt flavor, although it is subtlety replaced by noteworthy hints of cracker.

Editors’ Take

The editors had an engaging take on this adventure in a bottle. They highlighted the subtle yet sharp notes of Pinot Grigio, paired with a soft white-wine nose. The subtle citrus background just added to the intrigue. Taking a sip, you’re hit with bubbles that dance on your tongue, showcasing how airy and lightweight the body is. It’s beer – but not as we know it. The editors had difficulty even comparing it to traditional beer, due to its standout, unique nature. The beer origins can be faintly traced back to the mild hint of malt but overall, it transcends into its own league.

Conclusion

The Devils Backbone Brut IPA is certainly a game-changer. It’s a classy beer with a neat, sparkling appearance and an exciting aroma that starts a taste journey you won’t soon forget. The flavor profile involves a cool tour of fruits, despite a slightly underwhelming mouthfeel. It’s hard to categorize this as just beer when it offers so much more: this brew is fragrant, loaded with subtleties and complex nuances. In conclusion, this is a beer that forces us all to rethink our definitions of the beverage. It’s more than just a drink – it’s an experience; one that’s worth diving into headfirst.
