Well here we are on a rideless Saturday and considering the shite weather in the region I felt justified in my decision in the early afternoon and I think I have a no go for tomorrow as well. The Specialized was the bike to ride in these conditions which was kind of replaced by the gravel bike but it turns out I love my gravel bike and don't want to abuse it more than it has been.
Oh yes, I also pussed out. It was cold and gross.
Today, we have Dandy Brewing's T2G IPA which is in celebration of their neighbourhood which is pretty cool. The brewery is located in Calgary which is home to the Flames and Lanny Mcdonald.
What more is there to say? Calgary rules. Plus you got those foothills to the mountains right next door.. damn.
We poured and it gave a nice dark and dirty look in the Bubba Gump beer glass. It did have a citrus like aroma to it which they say is its big feature. I assume the odd name is the postal code of the brewery which makes sense as they are paying homage to their neighbourhood with this beer.
There is a lot going on with this one and it is downright delicious. It does have an obvious citrus taste of grapefruit with a slight tinge of mandarin. Or am I crazy? It is very hoppy and that mixed with the citrus taste it is quite delightful. It's nice to have an IPA that tastes like an IPA. Lots mask the hoppiness but Dandy does a fine job of showing that IPA love.
Slight lacing followed it down the glass as I had the last of the notes and I would say grapefruit is the big one here as I had a phantom grapefruit pulp feel to it and guess what. No old school IPA aftertaste.
This one gets 4 suds out of 5.
