The name is familiar and the style is familiar but this summer release from Wisconsin’s New Glarus Brewing is anything but, as you’ll read in this latest installment of Craft Beer to Cross the Border For.
\n<\/em>
\n\"scream<\/a>It\u2019s no secret. \u00a0New Glarus Brewing Company is synonymous with Wisconsin craft beer. \u00a0Any Wisconsonite worth their weight in fermented beverages has tipped many-a-Spotted Heifer and perhaps has even made the annual pilgrimage to the hilltop brewery. \u00a0Which, by the way, if you haven\u2019t indulged, it\u2019s quite spectacular. \u00a0Have you ever wondered what would happen if you crossed Willy Wonka\u2019s factory with Strange Brew\u2019s Elsinore Brewery?<\/p>\n

So the old Wisconsin saying goes: When New Glarus Brewing Company owner\/Diploma Master Brewer Dan Carey brews a cream ale, you drink it. \u00a0When Dan Carey brews a bock, you drink it. \u00a0When Dan Carey brews a Malort-barrel-aged prune juice stout…well you get the idea. \u00a0So it goes without saying, when I stumbled across New Glarus Scream IIPA<\/i>, I followed suit and quickly snatched a 4-pack up.<\/p>\n

I have to say, as someone who closely follows New Glarus, I was taken by surprise with this one, as it was quietly pushed out into the market after the recent release of two other Thumbprint beers. \u00a0But hey, I\u2019m not complaining here!<\/p>\n

As some of you may or may not have known, New Glarus released a double IPA last summer as part of the Thumbprint series. \u00a0After doing some research, I\u2019ve found that Scream IIPA is not<\/i> that beer. \u00a0Rather, it is a recipe written to support New Glarus\u2019 new estate grown hops, in which a portion of the hops in Scream were grown on New Glarus\u2019 front lawn.<\/p>\n

Upon popping the cap on this one, my wife could immediately smell it from across the dinner table. \u00a0Rightfully so, as this beer is off the charts with aromatics. \u00a0On the front, I pick up a really intense, saccharine maraschino cherry aroma along with a bright candy quality, similar to the sensation of the smell of a mouthful of chewed skittles. \u00a0If that isn\u2019t dizzying enough, I also get wafts of musky tropical fruit; green mango, papaya and pineapple along with a sticky peach aroma, backed by a touch of spicy malt. \u00a0Judging by the aroma, you\u2019d expect this beer to be a sweet and sticky fruit bomb in your mouth. \u00a0It is not<\/i>!<\/p>\n

On the front of the palate is a mellow, candied citrus quality which intermingles beautifully with waves of wildflowers. The use of Maris Otter malt is a welcome addition here, as it really contributes a beautiful toasty, spicy malt profile. \u00a0The gushing juiciness is perfectly kept in check with a surprisingly dry backbone, making this beer dangerously gulpable for 9%. \u00a0In the finish, the incredible aroma of this beer again punches through, giving you one final tropical kick in the pants.<\/p>\n

Wow.<\/p>\n

In a world of one-dimensional hoppy beers, this is staggeringly complex. \u00a0The aroma is intoxicating. \u00a0The balance is zen-like. \u00a0The drinkability is unparalleled. \u00a0If there is a beer worth crossing the border for this summer, this<\/i> is that beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
