So film festival over, and now it's back to more local beers. At first I thought Sticky Storm might be a stout, but it's a double dry hopped IPA, with a sort of modern hippy family family taking their hops, kegs and bottles wherever they go.
Aromatic and cloudy, a little heavy on the citrus notes. The head is white and fluffy, doesn't go down with any hurry either. It's about the color of a lager, and the cloudiness might fool you into expecting a wheat beer, but the scent will disabuse you of that right away. Bitterness is right up front, more than I expected judging by the aroma, but there's a tail-end of sweetness. There's an odd sensation in the mouth, a slight buzz without much of an aftertaste. The beer itself goes down cleanly, but it kind of feels like a small swarm of bees might be chasing it. It's a snappy, peppy beer, good for summer evenings. It's not too thick, though there is a good weight behind it. Probably fine for year-round imbibing.
