8 Wired Brewing Company Wireless Black IPA Black IPA at 6.2% ABV (C$11.49 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 26-Jun-2016, reviewed 28-Jun-2016)
Appearance: nearly solid black with brown margins, two fat fingers of growing rocky light beige head, good retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: roasty malt, horseblankety brett funk, pine, citrus, earthy. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, mild funk. (8/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, bone dry bitter funky finish. (4/5)
One of the few brewers I can automatically pick up without even looking at the label, knowing I’ll like it. And yeah, this I like. Funky and hoppy, all the best characteristics of the Black IPA style. Heckuva beer. (16/20)
