Ninja Vs. Unicorn

Ninja vs. Unicorn | Pipeworks Brewing Company | Chicago, IL | American DIPA | 8% ABV


Served chilled from a 16 oz can and consumed straight from the can. To get a look at the beer though I poured out a little into a 6 oz glass. Pours a hazy golden color with a frothy white foam head. Aroma is piney and very citrusy. Carbonation is moderate with a medium to light body. Taste is sweet yet extremely bitter, with an absolute hop bomb apparent. Over 5 pounds of hops are used to brew this monster. Also it clocks in at 150 IBUs. THAT'S RIGHT 150 IBUS!!! Crazy stuff. There is a ton of grapefruit flavors in this, with some other citrus. Mostly the hops just hit you right over the head. Finish is very bitter and lingering. 


Honestly one of the best DIPAs I have had in a long, long time. I have now tried three beers from Pipeworks Brewing, and I must say I am incredibly impressed. All of their items have been world class, and the artwork is some of the best I have ever seen on bottles/cans. And this was the best of the bunch for both beer and art. Damn good stuff. I would highly recommend, and if you find it, please pick up a case for me.
