Afterimage | Grimm Artisanal Ales | American Double IPA | Brooklyn, NY | 8% ABV
Served chilled from a 16 oz can and consumed straight from the can (though I poured out a little). Pours a hazy golden orange color with a frothy white foam head. Smell is very fruity, with hints of melon, peach, mango and other citrus. Carbonation is light with a medium body. Taste is almost like drinking carbonated fruit juice, with an intense bitter hop blast that follows. There is definitely passionfruit in the one as well, and mango, orange and melon juice complement the hoppiness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingering.
This beer was phenomenal. There was a crazy rush around the city the last week to try to get this. I am thrilled that I was able to get mine at Carmine Street Beers in the West Village. This week I will be doing another profile on them and their canned beers. If you can still find it buy it and buy a lot.
97/100
