  • Pours almost clear, the dark color makes it seem cloudier than it actually is. An inch or more of off-white, thick foam covers. Retention is fantastic. Lacing is thick, coating and sticky.

    Aroma is malt forward. Very little hops. Slightly oxidized. Spice.

    Taste is malt forward as well: caramel and darker malts. Not much of an aftertaste. What is there, carries malt and some oxidization.

    Medium body and carbonation. Between dry and juicy, trending towards dry as more consumed. No hope bitterness, taste or aroma.

    Not the hop bomb that I expected. Too malty. The oxidization in the aroma is not well received. Too dark for a DIPA. Many home brews that I have had are better than this beer. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • Supernova is a Royal Australian India Pale Ale that is brewed with Galaxy hops from Australia. Just as shock waves created by a supernova's explosion expand out into the universe, Valkyrie's Supernova IPA's hop bitterness intensifies as you drink it ending with a powerful dry finish.
