In year 2021 I try to tune down with Trillium & Monkish and make more research on other breweries. I start with this one. BEER: Patterns BREWERY: Great Notion Brewing BEER STYLE: DIPA COUNTRY: USA ALCOHOL (ABV): 8.0% COLOUR (EBC): Mandarin Orange (18.0) BITTERS (EBU/IBU): - SCENT: Some bitterish fruits. Bit weird and musty. FOAM: Ever lasting one finger tall. Nice lacing. GREY’S VIEW Riwaka hopped DIPA. Ok. This might be a sort of hybrid. West Coast meets New England. Taste has ripe mandarin oranges, some softer lemon juiciness and also some piney backround feel or hazy vibe overall. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, easy and a nicely dank. Hop oils are well presented in this one, creating a nice coating all over the mouth. Aftertaste is mouthwateringly nice; hop oils, resins and ripe fruits. OTHER NOTES: To me, this turned out to be somewhat more of a West Coast DIPA. And presented as well and clean as this, they’re always fun to have. Way good start with Great Notion.
