Because What the World Needs is Another Double
Ladies and gentlemen, craft beer enthusiasts, and IPA skeptics alike, let's raise our glasses to Battery Steele Brewing's latest hop-fueled escapade: Flume. It's a Double IPA, because, evidently, the world was facing a critical shortage of IPAs that dare to imperialize your palate.
Flume is the beer equivalent of that one friend who insists on turning everything up to 11. It’s not just a beer; it’s a full-fledged hop opera, complete with a chorus of citrus and pine notes that are practically doing jazz hands in your mouth. Each sip is like riding a roller coaster of bitterness, with loops of fruity undertones and a freefall into a pool of alcohol content that's not messing around.
This isn’t just a drink; it's a statement. A statement that says, “Yes, I like my beers like I like my superhero movies: intense, overwhelming, and with a complexity that’s borderline unnecessary.” Battery Steele Brewing seems to have looked at the IPA scene, scoffed at the restraint shown by others, and proclaimed, “Hold my beer, and watch this.”
Flume is perfect for those evenings when you can’t decide whether you want to have a casual drink or embark on a hop-laden voyage to the edge of sobriety. It's for the brave, the bold, and the ones who still use the term “hophead” unironically.
So, here’s to Flume and its unapologetic embrace of everything the IPA stands for. It’s not just a beer; it’s an arms race in a can. A race where everyone’s a winner, as long as they can handle their hops. Cheers to Battery Steele, boldly going where many have gone before, but doing it louder.
Cheers you, silly Bastards!
