At 60 IBUs I was looking for the initial bite that ended up sweet. By the time I got to the second taste I had become accustomed to the lack of modern day bitter that I have come to take for granted. A good flavor that pays homage to a more traditional IPA, I look forward to more brews from Village Idiot, right here in Southern NJ, good job to the brewers Vince and Rich, thank you.
Last week Brew Bloggers was honored to sample a candidate for Village Idiot’s house IPA. As such, I almost felt obligated to be critical because after-all, this could be ‘the IPA’ regular for Village Idiot. I’ve tried a couple of the award winning brews from these guys and I’m hopeful for great things in the future. I think it was this that maybe added some pressure to this tasting and forced an overly critical review. As I’m reading this post and comments again, I think that maybe I should add some of this back-story for clarity’s sake. Because really, this brew should recur, as it is quite tasty. I believe this brew should return and be a deliciously enjoyable seasonal brew. Maybe… ‘Fallipa!’
Thanks again to Village Idiot Brewing Company. I hope to be able to continue to taste the evolving candidates, I’m sure that each one will be individually delicious.
We have been working on this recipe and have a new version for you to try, I’ll send some down or if your in the area shoot us a message on facebook http://www.facebook.com/villageidiotbrewing
