Best Beer Tasting Glasses and Best Beer Sampler Glasses

Toppling Goliath Brewing Company is located in Decorah, Iowa. Over the last year, Toppling Goliath maintained their popularity while significantly increasing their beer production. Toppling Goliath now distributes across the United States and focuses on creating hop-forward ales and barrel-aged stouts. Today, we are providing our thoughts on Fire Skulls & Money, which is a Hazy IPA with Citra, Galaxy, Nelson, and Mosaic hops.

Appearance:

Fire Skulls & Money IPA poured a rich hazy orange color in our New Taster. Beer Tasting Glasses. The IPA produced a beautiful off-white head that led into tropical aromatics.


Nose: 

The off-white juice-forward head produced wonderful tropical, citrus, and grassy aromatics. We picked up a lot of citrus rind (grapefruit + orange) and grassy aromas.

Palate:

While the wonderful citrus and tropical-forward aromatics are settling, you receive a punch of citrus rind and grassy bitterness to remind you it's a west coast-inspired IPA. 


Final Thoughts:

Overall, Fire Skulls & Money was an accurate interpretation of a west coast inspired New England IPA. We really enjoyed this offering from TG and look forward to trying more hop-forward beers from them.

Our Beer Recommendations:

Toppling Goliath Beers:

Fire Skulls & Money (IPA Beer), King Sue (DIPA), DDH Pseudo Sue (Pale Ale)
