Our Tastes-- Latitude 48 Deconstructed

The Enabler was kind enough to have Bootleg Bonnie grab us a 12er of this stuff so we've finally gotten around to breaking one down. Latitude 48 East Kent Goldings IPA is what we're starting with to better appreciate how the overall "full" version comes into complexity. Color is a marmalade with an off white, slightly yellow head of nice tight fluff. The aroma seems to be of cereal and slightly over powered by the malt bill. Very interesting taste profile, it's slightly bitter intially and comes forward much more as it lingers and warms on the palate. East Kent Goldings seem to have a hint of mint to their profile. Using our Beer Tasting and Hop Appreciation Kit really brings the hop forward! I love referencing myself, means I don't have to have to use quotation marks! 6.0%abv I think throughout this collection.
