Boom!
has a feisty nose that, while always bitter, tightropes between citrus
and floral. The flavour is sweet and perfumed, with notes of evergreen
and peach, before dive-bombing into a fiercely bitter finish. According
to the copy, this brew hits 89 on the IBU scale, and I don’t doubt it
for a second, though the bitterness is cleverly woven into the overall
flavour, rather than just providing a hops wallop.
Boom!
is a playful brew with an edge. One seldom has cause to describe a beer
as both floral and fierce, but that’s what this double IPA from New
Zealand delivers. It’s well worth a try.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
