So Widmer recently dropped the underwhelming “Broken Halo” for a series of “seasonal” IPA’s. I don’t know any more than that and that the current release, “X-114 IPA” is incredible. This is a really outstanding beer. I have had it several times now, and it is just full of fruity, juicy, hop goodness - probably my favorite easy-to-find-anywhere beer right now. I just thought I should share.
X-114, btw, is named for the “experimental” hop used for flavor and aroma. If that’s the chief hop I am tasting, it tastes like a mix between Nelson Sauvin and Summit.
Agreed. I took a sixer of the x-114 to a party a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Big Citra flavor and aroma, not harshly bitter. I don’t miss Broken Halo.
I think is the first all citra beer I’ve had. The flavor is . . . interesting. It’s not unpleasant at all, but it’s a little distracting because it reminds me of something specific that I enjoy. But not necessarily something I want to taste in my beer.
