Beer of the Week

The beer: The Golden Squirrels

Brewed by: Kings County Brewers Collective, Brooklyn, New York

Description (from EmpireWine): "Pours peachy-yellow haze in the glass and oozing with tropical aromas & flavors of crushed mandarin oranges, pineapple upside down cake, and tangy passion fruit curd. Completely walloped with our hand-selected Citra & Mosaic, plus huge heaping handfuls of Simcoe & Australian-grown Eclipse hops. Melted-creamsicle mouthfeel from the wheat-heavy malt base and a soft, light finish."

Would I buy it again? This is one of those incredibly juicy-tasting IPAs that I actually kind of enjoy. It's also got that tropical fruitiness to it, but it's more sweet than bitter. It's pretty easy to drink, and I think it's a good choice as summer winds down. I'd buy it again.
