Founded in 1989 the Cambridge Brewing Company is the oldest
brewery-restaurant in the Boston area. CBC blends a passion for fresh,
flavorful beer and delicious, imaginative cuisine to create a one-of-a-kind
dining and drinking experience for greater Boston. As pioneers of new American
beer styles they offer patrons a variety of hand crafted original beers as well
as classic world styles and experimental beers. CBC is the destination for
diners with adventurous palates and a thirst for both authentic flavors and
unique interpretations of classic beer styles. I need to get there.
Brewer’s Description: Love the One You’re With! Get your hop
groove on with our latest, Flower Child I.P.A. Its herbal blast of citrus,
floral, and piney hops will resonate within you like that glorious guitar solo
from your favorite concert ever. It’s a new dawn!
The sample was poured from a 22oz bomber bottle (the perfect
sampling size in this writer’s opinion) into a tulip glass and I think the 5th Dimension's Age Of Aquarius was playing. The beer was a slightly hazy copper and
possessed a firm white head that left wonderful lacing as I enjoyed the sample.
The aroma was fresh and clean, floral and piney with just a suggestion of
grapefruit and citrus. It is a refined IPA, there is plenty of juicy pine hops
but it is nicely balanced. The
bitter gets you up front then mellows with some sweetness with a hop
finish. Medium in body and
carbonation. At 6.5% ABV it is not
a timid beer but you can still enjoy a few without getting blitzed. While I
like more citrus and grapefruit flavors, this beer tastes great and is an
excellent American IPA.
