Featured Review – Apical Dominance from Russian River

Gonna review a pair of beers that I bought at the Glendale Tap which has been selling beer from it cellar since the taps are shut and first up is a winner…

Call me jaded but it takes something for a beer to make me sit up straight (I am a natural slouched), and from the moment I popped the cap of Apical Dominance from Russian River, I took notice.  The aroma just rolled out.  Grapefruit primarily.  Then I took a sip and it was magical.  All the grapefruit and citrus from hop HBC-692 melded onto a lager.  Best IPL hands down.  Crisp and bitter.
