Cambridge House DIPA $5.29 22oz
A cloudy orangey reddish color with an off white head. Aroma is somewhat astringent due to the alcohol presence. Some hops and a huge malt kick in the nose hairs as well. The taste is a bit harsh as well. I wonder how this one would taste with a bit of age on it? Almost no bitternes.
Smutty Nose Homuculus $6.99 22 oz.
The Gnome was brewed in homage to the recent arrivals of hoppy Belgian beers that we’re starting to see here in the US. I was really shooting for that beautifully soft hopping that’s found in the Houblon Chouffe, however, the Gnome has developed its own unique characteristics and flavor profile. The base beer is a Belgian triple brewed with White Labs Chimay-style yeast. I really liked the fruit character from this yeast, but man, that stuff still hasn’t dropped bright. The hopping was done with Vanguard, Sterling and East Kent Goldings. I think this beer has a lot of potential, though I’d like another shot at brewing the style. There is a very limited amount of this beer, so if you happen to see it on tap, go ahead and share a pint with your gnomies!
