Our Tastes-- Swamp Ape

Picked this one up at Kwiker Liquor,  a great place down near Sea Grove during Labor Day vacay. It's the last of the 6er. It's a knuckle draggin' hairy chest beaten double IPA. 10%abv,  a nice round number,  with the standard cloudy dark golden hue and light creamy off white head. Oddly enough the nose doesn't seem very hoppy but the taste absolutely chews of BIG C hop additions. There's a bitterness that settles onto the tongue like concrete setting up. At first there's a little sweetness then an over whelming bitter fire that races across your palate and burps shortly thereafter. Swamp Ape is made with Europ, 2-row and Smoked Cherry Wood malts and hopped with Tettnang, Chinook, Cascade, Amarillo and Centennial.
