Since I'll be missing the opportunity to hit the slopes this 4th of July in sunny Southern California's largest ski resort, Mammoth Mountain, I figure I'd give you the next best thing instead – a beer from the hills themselves without the monotonous long drive there. Mammoth Brewing Company delivers massive aromas with their 395 Double IPA pulling flavor notes from local desert Sage, mountain Juniper, and local fresh Hops.
The Washdown:
- dark orange amber color with a thick full head that drinks smooth with very, very strong sage flavors IPA 395 (Mammoth Brewing Co. in Mammoth Lakes, CA) 8% ABV
If you're looking for an IPA that's got a very unique flavor akin to hops, I strongly recommend tasting this beer. Some of the ladies might put it in the same category as "lawn clippings", however, I'm sure it's best enjoyed in a cold winter wonderland.
