Knee Deep Brewing Co. Knee Deep Lupulin River

__Aroma:__ “Piney and resinous with some dank highlights. Massive body and ABV Additionally, some herbal hop and onion aroma. There’s an almost honey-like character that comes through as well. __Flavor:__ “Bright onion hop flavor with, alcohol booze, and a malt character that adds sweetness.” __Overall:__ “Huge beer with a classic west coast character. Resinous and dank. When you think of a double IPA… think of this beer.”

__Aroma:__ “Lemon, orange, tangerine, touch of biscuit, and light vanilla with some pine dankness that hits up front. As it warms, the citrus notes really pop and come through as a dominating factor. Low light malt background.” __Flavor:__ “Intense citrus character with plenty of lingering bitterness. This is the first beer tonight that I would say pushes the ‘big’ end of the style. The malt is slightly bready and medium sweet, and the juicy hops flavor is huge; they play off each other well. Somewhat of a pine character is there in the back that coats the back of the throat.” __Overall:__ “This beer is huge! Big flavor and aroma all the way though. It showcases a great hops profile with a subdued but balanced malt bill. It finishes a touch sweet, but I think that is what they were going for. Yum!”

__Aroma:__ “Bright blend of citrus (orange, tangerine, lemon) and pine over a slight malt sweetness. Very appealing earthy and woody, lightly dank or cellar character. Nutty aroma—walnuts or filberts.” __Flavor:__ “There’s plenty of malt sweetness in this beer to balance the intense hoppy character. Bitterness and hops flavor shine through with citrus and pine as in the aroma. Clean otherwise and distubingly drinkable for the ABV. Slight bready character from the malt provides some sweetness. Really dry finish without a lot of hops presence with the exception of a citrus note.” __Overall:__ “A balanced and drinkable 10ish percent beer with too many hops for anyone reasonable. Gimme, gimme, gimme. The restrained aspect of this beer is really interesting. Love that take on the style.”
