Breckenridge 417 Small Batch IPA.


Hadn't seen anything like a small batch IPA before so I had to pick up a bottle.

A bit nondescript in the nose. Not much lacing. Labeled as double hopped, but I've had much hoppier brews. Excessively malty, viscous, but not particularly sweet. Moderate hoppiness, brief but clear floral, lingering bitter on the finish. An imperial IPA without the hop load. Overall, not worth the money.

On BA, it looks like a lot of other people's experiences had strong aromas and heavy hoppiness. Maybe I got a lesser batch, and I wonder about the batch size and the variance between batches.
