Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
I did not take to the first beer that I tasted from Los Barbones, but this new one looks good….
Pelevacas has an intriguing list of ingredients added to that milk stout base. Coffee, Cinnamon, orange zest and Guajillo pepper. One of those would provide enough zing, but all four?
Time to welcome another brewery to Los Angeles via my beer review. Today it is Los Barbones Cerveceria and their Hazy Double IPA, Olor a Kush.
First off, not a fan of the imagery on the label. Especially if it is not indicative of what’s inside the can. Setting that aside, OAK pours a dark orange color with some haze to it. I would say medium to low. It is a little too sweet. Getting a Sweet Tart rush with an odd raspberry note. Has the needed Hazy softness and a nice DIPA level of malt structure but the hops are playing third string here when they should be number 1 or 1b.
L.A. has another cerveceria to look for on bottle shop shelves. Los Barbones has highlighted three cans from brown to lager to hazy that you can check out the specs on HERE.
I checked their beer finder and The Heights Deli is on their distribution list, so I hope to find their stuff there and review on a future post.
