Hoptimization capacitors activated. Taste probe functions optimal. Aroma sensors in overdrive. Engage. Let this otherworldly IPA abduct the hell out of your senses. The gravitational pull of Hop Circle will have you searching the galaxy for another close encounter of the thirst kind. Resistance is futile.
F.X. Matt Brewing Company - Utica, New York USA
Belgian IPA [Hybrid] (ABV 6%) (IBU 50)
[Suggested Glassware: Tulip Glass]
Rating: 3.2/5.0
Aroma: 6/10
Appearance: 4/5
Taste: 7/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 14/20
The pour was a murky straw yellow with an average (1-2 finger) white creamy head that was mostly lasting, reducing to a thin puddled film and medium collar with excellent sheets of lacing.
The aroma was of a light grain malt, resin and citrus hops and a sweaty Belgian yeast with a note of citrus (grapefruit and orange peel) and a bit of coriander.
The taste was lightly sweet and fruity with just a touch of spice early on, progressing with a nice citrusy hoppy taste, along with a strong grainy yeast presence and a citrus peel bite towards the finish. The flavor hung around for a good long time following the swallow with the bitter citrus peel taste fading ever so slowly off the taste buds.
Mouthfeel was a couple steps beyond light in body with a dry, creamy texture and a medium carbonation.
Overall this was a tasty and well balanced brew with a pleasing spicy citrus favor and a nice creamy drinkability...

Dogfish Head. The first of five US micros sent by ericschoon. This one accompanied the soccer game on Saturday. The game didn't end in our favor so luckily we had these beer. We tried two, three to go. This was a very interesting and good IPA. Strong - 9% - and IBU of 90, but that didn't actually seem that bitter due to the heavy body, and high sweetness (or was that the alcohol?).
IPA Hall of Famer Ted Okrzesik from Chicago happened to be visiting his daughter in Texas. The whole family decided to come to the IPA dance.
This may appear to be really organized and responsible of me. It is not. I only have to know a few of these (the ones we use in English), but I thought the chart looked cool and was interesting. So I copied it out.
I am really inventive when trying to find something to distract me from doing the work I am supposed to be doing.
Things I find most interesting:
white paper creates glare. I mean, it makes sense, but surprised me at the same time.
the symbol that is like a backwards C. Some english speakers use it, others do not. Pronounce Don and Dawn-- if you pronounce these differently, you use it.
The sounds that I cannot even imagine the sound of.
I really like the Shwa (the upside-down e in the middle). It is like the lazy vowel. (it sounds like "uh")
The label of the Ægir IPA tells the story of Ægir, a jötunn and a king of the sea in Norse mythology. He was also known for brewing beer for the Norse Gods, which is the reason the brewery took this name.
