I received a lovely care package from Monday Night Brewing in Atlanta and I have moved onto their Eye Patch IPA. Oh and just to add a little context to my mindset while reviewing, I am listening to Line of Fire by Junip and reading Life after Life by Kate Atkinson. Not at the same time. Not a multi-tasker am I. Anyhoo, on to the review…..
I like the eye patch guy on the label. It is a really good design from the front logo to the back which includes a Mark Twain quote, what to pair with the beer glyphs and which hops and malt were used. Nice packaging. Eye Patch pours a light orange. Aroma is akin to peach skin to me. Faint but nice. Taste is again fairly mild for my West Coast IPA sensibilities but the taste is quite nice. Slight citrus notes and lots of bready notes that normally get buried under an avalanche of hops in many IPAs.
