Where to start with this one ... truthfully, I was kind of disappointed with Tribute from 14th Star Brewing. It was off a recommendation from one of the guys that work at the packie I frequently visit. I'm usually a big fan of double IPAs, but Tribute just wasn't doing it for me. It might have to do with the fact that I am picking up a major grapefruit note in Tribute. I happen to not be a fan of grapefruit. As I delve deeper into Tribute I start to pick up a little mango, lemon and pine. There is also a crisp malty base. I would say this is a slow sipper with the big bitterness that is left on my tongue. At 8.4% ABV, the more you drink Tribute the more you know that it's a high percentage beer. Overall I will give Tribute a second chance to see if it can win me over.
