Flat Earth Angry Planet
August 4th thru August 10th
Brewer's Description
This brew is a good example of what happens when ol' mother nature gets mad. Angry Planet is made with organic American 2-row, Caramel 60 and Munich malts. Featuring Cascade hops, with a large dry hop addition. An aroma of citrus and light toast. A nice flavorful punch of citrus hop is balancedby slight caramel sweetness and plays off on the hop bitterness. We are working on USDA certification for this beer.
SRM - 14, ABV - 6.0%, IBU - 45

It says so right on the bottle. I was very pleased with this selection. Toasty, slightly citrus, and hoppy enough to give the sniffer a good whiff. The Planet may be Angry, but I was quite happy with it.

All it takes is crafting from the right person’s (Jeff’s) hands. Angry Planet is a beautiful copper color, reminiscent of many an IPA. There was sufficient head, enough so that the server had to pour some off, and a mild hoppy-sweet aroma. With a creamy feel in the mouth and just enough hops to make my taste buds smile without going over the edge this is a winner in my book.

So I actually had the double dry-hopped, cask-conditioned version of this beer on Saturday at Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison. I think it’s a nice, multi-dimensional pale ale, and the fact that it’s organic is cool too. It’s crisp, just a bit caramel-y and hoppy but not extremely hoppy. Nice, floral… grapefruit. A good drinker. Yum.

Angry Planet is nothing flashy or groundbreaking. I was concerned because every organic beer I’ve had until now has provided me with a raging headache almost immediately. Did not happen this time though! Organic….meh, great, but in this case the taste matters more than how good I feel about the ingredients. It’s ok, not too much of anything - hops, malt or otherwise. Just right….or just enough. Sure not to offend anyone.
