Whiplash Bone Machine IPA, 6.2%. Beer of the week
“Straight-up modern American IPA”
Bone Machine IPA promises much at first glance with its hazy light gold body and an attractive big bubbly head. And this 6.2 percenter from Whiplash does not flatter to deceive. It is Loaded with hops and you get a posse of tropical aromas. And that translates to the taste buds as well, packed with papaya and pineapple flavours and another reminder from the hops as the finalé approaches. Very Highly Recommended and Beer of the Week.
The newish BRU -1 hop delivers aromas of freshly cut pineapples and green fruits when used as a whirlpool or dry hop addition. The other hops here are El Dorado (well known for its tropical fruit flavours reminiscent of pineapple and mango), Ekuanot (known for citrus and tropical, think papaya, characteristics), while Cascade is regarded as the definitive hop, “the hop that made hops famous” and has been well regarded in ales since its 1971 introduction.
Whiplash are very happy with Bone Machine: “Straight-up modern American IPA. 100% Whirlpool hopped with Cascade and double dry hopped with Ekuanot and BRU-1, it brings candied lemon, papaya, and pineapple to the flavour”.
