Name: Lucky U IPA
Brewer: Breckenridge Brewery (Denver, CO)
Classification: American IPA
Alcohol: 6.2%
Thoughts: I don't really have a story about this beer or this brewery, but BreckBrew is new to the The Beer Year. They are actually new to me too. Let's see what they got. This American IPA pours a vibrant molasses-brown with a nice compact white head. This smell is pretty simple. It is grassy, sweet and holds the traditional hop presence you get with 99% of American IPAs. On first taste it was very crisp and contained a coldness that seemed to be more than the usual beer out of my fridge. This brew also contained a decent amount of grapefruit, some earthy malts and bitter hops. The bitterness lingers just a tad too long though. This beer is good, but it's nothing special.
Rating: 82/100
