In an IPA, that same ethanol plays a large role in helping to extract the natural oils found in hops. Because of this, the upper ABV limit on these beers is set fairly low by default. In the Lodo review, I noted that a gram of ethanol (the alcohol in beer) has more calories than a gram of carbs.
How do you keep the calorie count low while ensuring the bright hop character and balanced profile of a good IPA? You can’t swing too heavy, or too light, in any one direction. And Mathlete is it.įrom a recipe standpoint, low cal beers are a bit of a high-wire act. “Drinkability” is one of those words you can’t really define, but you know it when you taste it. The slight haze comes from the presence of hop oils, and adds an eye-catching opalescence to the beer. The hop flavors and aromas are ever so slightly subdued, which pair perfectly with the low ABV, light body, and dry finish. This beer is as light and refreshing as can be.
What are the notable characteristics of this beer? Hops: Haas Citra Incognito, Haas Mosaic Incognito, Azacca Reviews are done by our Sensory Specialist Travis Houston, a Certified Cicerone and FoBAB judge. Crisp, refreshing, and unaccountably hoppy-you don’t need a TI-84 to know Mathlete is a sum greater than its parts.
Hit the buzzer, because the numbers are in: this is the most flavor you can fit into a 115 calorie IPA.
