Blackberry Farm Brewery BFB IPA

What the brewers say

"Our unfiltered IPA is a celebration of New World hops and all of their versatility."

What our panel thought

"Mango and candied fruit jump from the glass. Round, bittersweet flavor—low malt but nice sweetness, candied fruit still there—then finishing a bit earthy and resin-astringent. Classically molded with Pacific roughness, hindering drinkability but somehow nostalgic and reassuring."

What our editors thought

"Light tropical fruit-funk on the nose—less defined than others, but enjoyable in its subtlety. Light and dry in flavor, with a curious, tropically tilted, overripe-fruit bitterness that slightly overpowers the friendlier fruit."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Blackberry Farm Brewery BFB IPA

“Pine, candied orange, touch of lemon pith. Very light bready backbone supports perceived sweetness from the hops and the moderate dank and pine notes in the aroma. Flavor has a light toasted bread-crust base with a touch of honey. Smooth, moderate bittering lingers into a long clean finish.”

Perennial Artisan Ales Something in the Orange

“A pillowy head invites you in for a tame lemonade, candied tangerine, tea-like aroma. Little maltiness, and a surprisingly muted flavor of black tea and fruit punch. Well-balanced mouthfeel. Finishes very dry.”

Brewskey Pub & Taproom Singularity Citra

“Funky overripe melon and pineapple in the nose. A firm bitterness, some dank, diesel hop flavor followed by fresh melon. Just a slight sharpness fades away into softer flavors and a lasting sweeter finish.”
