| 8 Wired Brewing Co. HopWired IPA 7.3% abv., 70 IBUs |
"The predominant smell and taste I get is passion fruit," Jeff said of HopWired IPA from 8 Wired Brewing Company. "It's rounded out with some other tropical fruit along with a balance of caramel sweetness. It's a great switch up from an American IPA."
But like the last beer, the Birrificio B.O.A. Bia IPA, Jeff was worried about the freshness of this one.
"Unfortunately the shipment the LCBO put on shelves only a few weeks ago has a bottling date of Dec. 11, 2012 - makes you wonder if it lost something over those 3.5 months since IPAs are always best when the hops are freshest."
Hey! Did your bottle have a 'bottled on' date made explicit - or did you work it out from the numbers beneath the BBE? Just trying to figure out how fresh my bottle is! Cheers
ReplyDeleteI asked Jeff - he said he just knew because of discussions on the Bar Towel boards.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, will do some more digging!
