Devils Backbone - Kung Pow "Enter The Hop" Far Eastern Influenced IPA Review

Brewery: Devils Backbone Brewery

Type: Far Eastern Influenced IPA(Firkin)

ABV: 6.8%

Sight: A nice hazy light-orange that is translucent with hints of yellow and brown peeking through.

Aroma: Sweet floral tones of tangerine and possibly grapefruit run amuck. This nose is tremendous and enhances the anticipation for the taste.


Taste: Malty sweet to start, then the hop bitter hits very well. Twinges of citrus are prominent throughout. Flavors balance well all the way through. No one flavor dominates the others.

Overall: Truely dug it. I've been wanting to try something from DBB for awhile, and should have by now(only 1 hour or so away). They have won many medals at many competitions including GABF, which increased my eagerness to try them. The mouthfeel was medium with a mild pinch of an aftertaste on the roof of the mouth is pleasant.



Score: 8.7/10
