“Brut”, the French word for dry, is probably best known as a descriptor for Champagne. In beer, dryness means there must be next to no residual sugar left after fermentation. This golden-yellow, 7-percent-strong, Brut IPA is just such an example. In the nose, it starts with a fruity, mildly phenolic bouquet of mango, pineapple, kiwi, and white wine. The body is slender, and the taste, viniferous. It then quickly transitions into a long finish dominated by a pronounced and classic IPA bitterness with complex, mostly hop-derived aromas of gooseberry and grapefruit.
Reminiscent of a palate-cleansing dry Champagne, this beer goes well with boiled or grilled lobster; buttery French brie coated with walnuts; or a rich and creamy Quiche Lorraine.
