Humboldt-500-BC-Double-IPA

The 500 B.C. has a bouquet of citrus fruits and hops, and pours a ruddy orange into a vessel. For the pour, there is a finger’s worth of off-white head. The warmth that this DIPA provides is substantial, and provides a further indiication of the beer’s 8.3% ABV. The floral and fruit notes of the initial sip open up into a nicely-balanced blend of sweet and bite. A mild hop taste is all that remains after each sip. Humboldt has made a stellar addition to the double IPA style with this effort. A 22-ounce bottle should provide imbibers with just the amount of merry and heat through the rapidly-cooling winter months.

The eminent drinkability of the 500 B.C. ensures that a wide array of beer fans will be able to appreciate the twists and turns that Humboldt has inserted into this effort. Visit their Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HumboldtBrewingCo for product news, comments, and reviews.

Rating: 9.0/10
