Review – Anderson Valley Brewing 20th Anniversary Imperial IPA
Anderson Valley Brewing has a great presence in Southern California, they are famous for Boont Amber Ale and Hop Ottin’ IPA, both very tasty brews.
Anderson Valley Brewing Company 20th Anniversary Imperial IPA. 22oz, 8.7% abv.
Appearance: Cloudy apricot colored orange. Carbonation visibly rising to the top. 50% light gets through and you can only make out the silhouette of an object through it.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Oranges, especially orange peel. Sweet hops as well.
Taste: Bitter orange, malt and bread. Tons of alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Very think for a Double IPA.
Overall: Do not care for this beer at all. I look for the hops to ultimately prevail over the malts in a California Double IPA. This is a malty, bitter-in-a-bad-way hop bomb. I honestly couldn’t finish it.
