Downtown Wine and Gourmet Tasting - Eight Point

  • 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
