Dan delights in The African Queen And Her 7 C’s IPA from Liquid Intrusion Company care of an intro from Greg and Doug of Brothers In Booze.

Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company The African Queen And Her 7 C’s

STYLE: American IPAINGREDIENTS: African Queen and Falconers Flight 7 C’s hops ABV: 6.0%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 12-Ounce cans, Draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the brewery’s can, website, and Untappd.

Appearance

Brilliant yellow/gold with a quarter-inch, white, fluffy head with various bubble sizes.

Aroma

Tropicality: Guava, passion fruit, underripe mango and pineapple with a splash of key lime to round it out.

Taste

Tropical fruits continue with muddled guanabana and a hint of citrus/lemon pith with the hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel

Even though it is only 6% ABV, there is a weight and mouthfeel that is immediately apparent along with the soft carbonation to enhance the flavors.

Overall

For me, a fish taco with a tropical-fruit based salsa is an obvious choice or with a bit of spice like Thai chili could work. This one is delicious, approachable, and satisfying. I need to try more IPAs with these South African varieties when I can.

Many thanks to Greg and Doug from Brothers In Booze for the virtual introduction!

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
