Okay..
Verdict is in early.. It's got maybe less than a week on the gas and in the keg. Dry hops are still in there, will be slower to work in the cold.
However.. The beer is really good. I've got some of the most amazingly smooth and fruity bittering from the Belma. It's bitter on the front, and that oh so wanted smooth bitter on the after taste.
Strawberry, red berry, pineapple, grass clippings, slight sweet pine. All are present in the nose and the taste. Paired with the Galaxy, I'm getting the serious citrusy passionfruit, way over ripe pineapple, and some cantaloupe. The cascade I recognize in there, and I think it tones down the earthy dirt, piney/grassy, almost white pepper notes of the Belma. The berry note from Belma is loud though, atleast in my beer. It's the first thing you taste and then it goes AWOL for the rest of the flavors to develop.
Anyways.. it taste good. It's not SOOOO out there and loud that you put it down and go "WTF?", but it's subtle and smooth enough that mingles well with the Galaxy and pinch of Cascade to really get the party going. Good change up from the Pine or Citrus you see in IPA's. It straddles both and gives a slightly different angle.
In any case, it looks good, and good lord at the great lacing this early.
And......
YUM.. Wish I could have about 4 of these tonight, but at 7.5%, and being Monday, I'll refrain.
