The Vail Brewing Co. Vent3

This Beer from The Vail Brewing Co. in Richmond, Virginia, is Vent3, a Triple-dry hopped West Coast style IPA. This beer is 6% ABV and is Triple-dry hopped with CTZ, Amarillo, El Dorado, and Nelson Savuin hops. You don’t see many triple-dry hop IPAs, but a few are around. This beer pours a deeper yellow with a three-finger white head. The aroma is fruity (peaches and citrus orange) and resiny, with some pine notes. The taste is fruity (more pronounced oranges) and resin/pine notes. The flavor is also soft and lightly malty. This beer has a fuller feeling in your mouth. Then comes a piney aftertaste with a bit of bitterness. The aftertaste is lightly fruity and piney. Vent3 IPA is good but I can’t really compare this to other triple-dry hopped IPAs because I haven’t had much. But as an IPA this is good, but not great. I give The Vail Brewing Company Vent3 a C+. It’s just above average. It wasn’t terrible, I enjoyed it, and it is not a beer I would tell you not to have. Please stay safe, be kind to one another, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
