Beer Friday. New Level Brewing, Electric Reaper Juicy IPA


 Well here we are! Day two of being all fucked up. I have trained myself not to sneeze since this happened and it is quite impressive. I am one heavy sneezer and the sun has been out ballin lately. I was thinking of testing things and going to Telford but it hurts my chest walking up the stairs so maybe not a smart idea.

Maybe a test run around Beaumont? How stupid would I be on a scale of 1 -10 to go? My lovely wife claims its a solid ten. Like tongue stuck to metal in the Winter kind of dumb. I am definitely doubtful for the weekend and most likely coming week so I hope I can fill some content in here and there. 

Fook me, I hate being hurt. 

Wow what an asshole I am. We are celebrating this brewery's latest creation and I had to go on and on and make it all about myself. 

This brewery comes out of Calgary and I think for the first time on here I will say God bless the Flames after hearing about the greasy new Oilers hire. I hate to see it but there is something in that organization that seems to be a bit off.  They ain't going to win a cup till they fix it. I get these vibes from watching football. For a team to win the whole franchise is a winner, from the janitors and floor polishers to players and to upper management. 

These tangents are getting weirder and weirder.. 

This brewery's origins come from a couple of Metal heads which is the coolest thing ever. They met at a death metal festival and now run this brewery with all their beers based on metal with their names and graphics. This Electric Reaper Juicy IPA comes very highly touted so I am excited to try it. 

* blows horn.   "Assemble to the pouring room" I exclaim to absolutely nobody!

It poured a wonderful murky gold like that of an angry unruly IPA should. It had a fruit like smell to it, it was almost tropical and something you don't expect from an IPA but then you taste it... 

Win win win all around. It has that punchy IPA hoppy kick to it which is accentuated by a nice fruit taste which in no way is overpowering. It really pairs well with the hoppy kick to it thanks to the Citra hops. This one is very easy and refreshing and thank God I only have one cause these go down easy. 

"Goes down easy"... is what every brewery strives to hear when doing their brewing and wow New Level knocked this right out of the fuckin park. 

Well done guys and Go Flames Go.

This beer gets 5 suds out of 5.
