Velocirapture- Counter Weight Brewing Co.

Beer Review

Velocirapture is a 6.8% American IPA brewed by Counter Weight Brewing Co. in Hamden, Connecticut. Counter Weight is a relatively new beer-maker that has quickly made a name for itself in the North East market. They make a variety of beers from German Pilsners and Oatmeal Stouts to bright and hoppy IPAs. The Velocirapture is the second beer I've tried from Counter Weight and it was also a delicious American IPA. It was brewed as #8 in their 'Audition Series'.

The Can

The Velocirapture is sold in a full pint can. It features a yellow Velociraptor holding an 'IPA' flag. The words Velocirapture are written in a fiery font beneath the feet of the dinosaur. The beer name is a cross between the words Velociraptor and Rapture. Overall it's a cool name and can for a beer.

The Beer

I poured the Velocirapture into a proper Counter Weight glass. I enjoyed it outside on the back deck of @kirm-it's house during a beer share. It had a rather dark hazy orange color with a nice head of foam. It's a great American IPA with lots of floral hop notes and hints of pine. Overall a solid beer from Counter Weight Brewing Co. I look forward to trying more from them in the future!
