Beer - #375 - Speakeasy - Big Daddy IPA

I brought this after much prevarication, someone mentioned in passing that it was 'average'  but I've had a lot of average lately so the heck -  Speakeasy - Big Daddy IPA

650ml bottle, 6.5% ABV, 55 IBU things, and that makes it 195 calories a serve, and it's 3.3 standard drink equivalents in this bottle.

Brewed by Speakeasy Ales and Lagers in the syle of an  India Pale Ale (IPA) and they are in San FranciscoCalifornia USA

No lightweight, Big Daddy I.P.A. tips the scales with a huge hop flavor and a dry, clean finish that leaves the scene without a trace.

San Francisco’s Speakeasy has a cool, Prohibition- and organized-crime-themed style—their mailing list members are collectively known as “The Mob,” and the brewery’s website refers to the staff as “The Family”—but their beers are mostly modern and West Coast in style. Big Daddy’s taps can be found around the Western US, and bottled beers have been available since 2000.



Flavors and aromas Big Daddy IPA is a dry-hopped beer with a big floral-citrus nose. It’s bitter, but not overwhelmingly so; the full-bodied malt balances the bitterness to a point where you may find that this comes together more like an amber ale than an IPA.


So a mixed bag of things, mostly I've read that this is fairly good though.
