To warm up for the IPA Block Party outside of Hawthornes (post incoming tomorrow), I opened a can of Sly Fox Route 113, an IPA.
Sort of a perfumy bitter nose. Not citrus or pine, but maybe grapefruit? I honestly couldn't tell and Jo wasn't around to help. Bitter up front, followed by some grapefruit notes, some of the perfume notes from the nose and finishing a little bitter. As I drank more, the sweetness slowly overpowered the bitterness and it started becoming a little cloying. Not sure why that happened as usually the bitterness overpowers everything but maybe it's a result of having it after a coffee stout. Who knows. Wasn't bad, but I've had better ones recently. I definitely enjoyed it more when I had it on draft at the brewpub a while back.
