Beskar steel is strong, but this IPA is stronger with flavor. Long Beach Beer Lab's This Is The Way IPA, double dry-hopped with Galaxy hops, is a bounty of tropical and citrus aromas and flavors worthy of any Mandalorian creed. This is not just a beer; it's a way of life, hop by delicious hop.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Peel off your helmet and inhale the rich scent: a vibrant strike of tropical fruits like ripe mango and passionfruit, interwoven with the sharp tang of grapefruit and a hint of distant starlight (or maybe just really good hops). The double dry-hopping with Galaxy is like finding pure beskar.
-
Flavor: This is the way the flavor hits: a crisp, honorable bitterness leads the charge, followed by a smooth wave of juicy tropical fruits and zesty citrus. The Galaxy hops are as prized as your ancestral armor, delivering a distinct and satisfying character supported by a clean, resilient malt base.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied and as clean as a freshly forged ingot, with a moderate carbonation that enhances the hop intensity and ensures smooth passage. This is the way a true warrior enjoys their brew.
-
Finish: The journey ends with a lingering hop bitterness and a final echo of tropical and citrus notes, leaving a clean, resolute finish. This is the way the taste endures.
This is more than just an IPA. This is the way. Enjoy, buir.
