Peticolas Brewing Company Thrilla in Brazilla India Pale Ale

A week ago, I was in Dallas, Texas, having lunch at Ten50 BBQ (https://www.ten50bbq.com), which is actually in Richardson, TX. With my BBQ assortment, I had Thrilla in Brazilla, a 7.5% ABV IPA. This is a limited beer produced by Peticolas Brewing Company (www.peticolasbrewing.com/) in Dallas. This American IPA was originally for the 2014 World Cup and was released on June 12th, the first day of match one, Brazil versus Croatia. Then it was re-released for the 2015 Gold Cup and the 2016 Copa America. The food at Ten50 BBQ is good traditional Texas BBQ. The food is served cafeteria style. This IPA pours orange with a two-finger tight white head. The aroma is fruity with some grapefruit and orange. There is bitterness on the nose. The flavor is bitter, fruity, and hoppy. This IPA has a medium feel in the mouth. The finish is bitter and fruity, then there is a hoppy aftertaste with faded semi-sweet fruitiness. This is average, I’d say this is a C. The beer gets more bitter and hoppy as it warms, but that is true with most IPAs. This is neither bad nor really good. It’s an average drinkable IPA. I wouldn’t say ”stay away from this”, but if you have it, it’s not bad to drink. This IPA is not in production at this time. So finding this in the wild might be hard. You can contact the Peticolas Brewing Company. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
