Name: Slipknot “Brewmaster’s Reserve 2009
Brewery: Full Sail Brewery
Overall Rating: A
Style: Imperial American IPA
Serving Style:22oz bomber
ABV: 7.8%
IBU:International Bitterness Units: 80
Price: 4.59 per 220z bomber
Aroma: Strong pine and floral aromoas.
Appearance: Incredibly clean filtered copper hues. Beautiful brew. Good carbonation with average rentention. Aggressive agitation brings out a rich creamy off white head. Subtle lacing down the glass.
Flavor: Good hop blast up front well balanced by a nice malty body.
Mouthfeel: Enjoyable medium body, nice finish with a touch of lingering bitterness.
Enjoyability: I really enjoyed this one. I am used to higher ABV imperials and this one is rather low at only 7.8% but nonetheless is an enjoyable drinkable A-IPA. If you enjoy the A-IPA beer style, without question you will enjoy this brew. Great on a summer day, refreshing!
