Notch “Infinite Jest” Next Up In The Single Series

Next up in the Single Series is Infinite Jest (1), a hoppy American Bitter with a whopping ABV of 4.0%. While the merriment may not last forever, the 4% ABV will certainly give you the ability to extend your good times. Or, you could have a beer at lunch, because that’s a pretty solid option too (2).

The beer is a pale gold color (3) with a lasting white head and a very slight haze from dry hopping (4). The aroma comes from a combination of Citra and Mosaic hops (5) and carries all of the citrus and fruit you’ve come to expect from these new hop varieties (6). The flavor is lighter bodied (7) but full of Fawcett Maltings Golden Promise (8) juicy malt character that carries the Amarillo hop flavor without any lingering bitterness (9). And you could finish this sentence for me, but the beer lands dry, inviting for another sip (10).

This is draft only, and one cask (11) will be served at NERAX (12). We’ll post on social media when it hits accounts.

Endnotes:

(1) Infinite Jest is a work of fiction by David Foster Wallace. 75% of everyone who claims to have finished the book is lying.

(2) We are forced to explain this at every point of communication or the first comment from a high ABV fan will be something like “why do you dislike high ABV beer”.

(3) It’s really a yellow beer, but a certain west coast brewer has a thing against that color, and we don’t have the marketing muscle to influence their followers who will forever look at yellow as evil.

(4) Dry hops present some clarity challenges for brewers. However, if you see a beer that looks like a protein shake, that’s yeast. To each his own, but yeast shakes are not our thing.

(5) Guilty.

(6) Hop aroma description generator link here (why hasn’t this been created yet?)

(7) It’s a Bitter, they are lighter bodied by design, and if you post on Untappd that it is “thin” you will be tagged with a scarlet letter identifying your sophomoric and pretend beer style expertise.
