New or notable, classic or quaffable, Mike is pouring a glass of it.
Beer: Delta Double
Variety: Double India Pale Ale
ABV: 8.5%
Brewer: Copper City Brewing Company
Mike Sez: Some of you may have had beer made by this Rome, New York, brewery thanks to Mike Kohli, who is part of the establishment’s beer crew and entertainment booker — as well as a beloved member of the RTS community.
Copper City has now begun canning its own beers, as opposed to strictly making crowlers. That led to me getting to try a trio of beers, but of course I gravitated to the Double IPA. For me, Double IPAs are like a double-album from one of your favorite bands: They hit a little harder and last a little longer, allowing you to savor the experience.
Conclusion: This clear medium-amber DIPA harkens back to what is now a classic style. There’s a hint of citrus, but it’s not dominant as it would be in a New England IPA or the ubiquitous hazy IPA. Balancing the flavor is a pleasant resiny bitterness and caramel malty character that, hopefully, prevents you from slamming this brew. It’s not made for that. Put on a classic rock album — or a triple platter like The Clash’s Sandinista — and sit back and relish the ride.

FEATURED PLAYLIST: INSTRUMENTAL MADNESS!
|
|
In today's episode, Bill Mulligan picked out some of his favorite instrumental songs (by artists who usually have vocals on their tracks). That got us to thinking that starting up a collaborative playlist based on his idea would be a very good thing to do.
So put your thinking caps on and come up with your best instrumental songs (by artists who usually have vocals on their tracks). Click this link to add them to the playlist. Happy no-vocals to all!
