Hoppy visited Cynosure Brewing yesterday. They opened in 2016, and their focus is on lagers and Belgian styles. They strive for drinkability in their beers, making for eager anticipation of the next sip and the next glass.
While there, Hoppy quaffed a flight of the following:
Vivid Cold IPA – Featuring Lemondrop, Comet, and Idaho 7 hops. 7% ABV, 37 IBU.
Cynosure IPA – Described as brewed in the Pacific Northwest style, it has a citrusy, floral, spiciness in the aroma and flavors thanks to Citra and Centennial hops, and Columbus hops lend a zesty bitterness to the finish. Crystal, pale and wheat malts create a light amber color and a clean malty fullness to perfectly balance the hops. 6.4% ABV, 54 IBU.
Prickly Pear Gose – Described as fruity, sour and delish. 5.7% ABV, 14 IBU.
Triple – This Belgian Tripel style is described as pale gold in color, with subtle spice and fruit tones. It is deceptively smooth and drinkable despite being the strongest beer in their regular lineup. 9.4% ABV, 34 IBU.
