DRAFT REVIEW: Black Top
RATING
86

An enticing mélange of hop scents forms a substantial bouquet of orange, pineapple and mango with dank catty accents. Like the aroma, this black IPA’s light on the dark malts. A heavy wave of succulent orange and catty hops consumes the tongue, while flickers of roasted malts accent the hops’ prickly mouthfeel. Black Top’s relatively light bitterness creates a swallow so easy, the beer’s almost sessionable; its ABV is masterfully masked.
