Beer - #386 - Ballast Point - Fathom India Pale Lager

It's a Sunday, I wanted a quiet beer to get me to the end of a nice weekend, so here it is Ballast Point Fathom India Pale Lager. 

Brewed by Ballast Point Brewing Company in the style that is  Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils and they are in San DiegoCalifornia USA

This is a 650ml bottle,  it is @ 7% ABV, which would be 210 a serve  (385 for the bottle) calories and 70 IBU things on the scale if things, which is more bitter than an ESB, Stout or your average IPA. Oh and about 3.6 standard drink units in NZ.

Lager meets IPA in a winning combination.

Our Fathom India Pale Lager combines time-honored lagering techniques with the hop profiles of a West Coast IPA recipe. The cold-fermenting lager yeast provides a clean base that allows the citrus and pine aromas from the hops to really shine. The result is a gold medal beer with a refreshing, easy drinking character and just the right amount of depth.

So a weird mash up on the face of it, but it does seem to resonate with people
