- Name: Eight Point
- Type: American IPA
- Brewer: Devils Backbone Brewing Company
- Region: Roseland, Virginia
- Country: United States
- Time of Year: Year-round
- Price: $9.99 for 6 pack
- Brewer's Review: A cornucopia of hop varieties imparts a floral-citrus aroma and a crisp bitterness to this medium-bodied ale. Concocted from Pilsen and a dash of Caramel malts, this burnished-golden brew has a sweet malt backbone for balance. IBUs - 60, ABV - 5.9%.
- My Review: The smell of this one was sweet and very wheaty on the nose. A nice concoction of flavors, mildly heavy and rich. The taste of this beer was much more bitter than expected and also much lower alcohol content than the others. A great beer from a Virginia brewer.
- Food: Crackers
This is my first ever blog and will be a documented history of my wine experiences over the course of my last semester here at Virginia Tech. It is required for my Geography of Wine course with John Boyer but I plan to use it for my own personal enjoyment beyond the lifespan of this course as well.
