It’s been a few weeks since my last review. (of an actual beer that is.) In my last, special edition of TBB, I tried (and still regret to this day) Cucumber Lime flavored Gatorade. Lets just say that will never be happening again. For tonights review I found something pretty unique. A local Nevada brewing company who, as of right now, has a very small but devoted following and has put out some interesting brews. Joseph James Brewing Company is a small brewery in southern Nevada specializing in small batch craft beers and even their own brew of root beer and cola. I was interested to try their “HopBox Imperial IPA” for a few reasons. 1) I had never heard of JJBC and thought to give a local brewery a try. 2) I’m a fan of dark hoppy beers and this seemed like it could be pretty tasty. — Lets see how this one turns out….
Beer: HopBox Imperial IPA
Brewery: Joseph James Brewing Company
Thoughts:
There is a lot of citrus in here. It has a very sweet flavor to it. It is very crisp. I thought that it was going to be a lot darker and heavier then it turned out to be. The finish is strange to me. Initially the aftertaste is not very good, but as it dissipates there is some kind of orange taste that comes in and makes it pretty good. It is more refreshing then most IPAs I have had in the past. Not to say that the other beers were not refreshing, but there is a lightness and a crispness to this that reminds me of drinking a really cold beer on a very hot summer day. It is very enjoyable. Im not that big of a fan of sweet beers, but this one is very good. I am interested to see what the other beers this company has to offer.
