Beer Name: Wasted Life
Style: IPA
ABV: 6.6%
IBU: 57
Color: a hazy deep gold, bolstered by the slightest touch of burnished copper; it's a color that evokes memories of the most exquisite cream sodas.
Cheese Pairing: Humboldt Fog or Délice de Bourgogne.
Food Pairing: Jamón serrano, extra sharp cheddar, and a big hunk of crusty bread. Good night.
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Bruce Lee" by Indian Handcrafts.
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls or "The Brews" by NOFX.
Best Occasion to Drink: As your first beer on Thursday evening, when the week is almost over and you just want to wind down. Then - hopefully - throughout the rest of the weekend, spurred by fond recollections of how good it tasted on Thursday.
Brewer's Notes:
With a wink at the old school and a nod toward the new school and the hint of a sly smile toward the English school, Wasted Life takes a trip all around the Wide World of IPA (with a brief layover in Belgium, of course). It's got a dab of caramel but it's not too sweet or full-bodied, it's got a hint of pine and resin but it's not reminiscent of floor cleaner, it's fruity but it doesn't smell like day-old fruit salad that's been sitting in the lobby of a medium-quality hotel near the airport. It's Wasted Life, and we love it, but we have one hell of a time trying to describe it, so you should probably just see for your dang self!
