This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Kirkland India Pale Ale.
As I mentioned in last week's Sunday Night Suds which reviewed the Kirkland Pilsner (http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/08/sunday-night-suds-kirkland-pilsner.html), its been about ten years since I reviewed a Kirkland brew and although the styles of changed, the bang for the buck (and kosher certification under the Va'a of Detroit) is still there. Costco sells a mix 24 pack for 19.99, which is pretty solid for non-macro beer.
The Kirkland IPA poured a deep gold with good carbonation which was strong, but not seltzer like in its punch. The hops are the star of this beer and the citrus and pine are prominent. That's not to say that the bitterness is over the top as the brew manages to hit you with bitter, but does not cross the line to metallic. At 6.5% abv, the beer is not a session brew, but neither is it a sipping beer like a Trippel. This is a solid beer to have with charred steak or chicken and would hold up well with stews as well.
The Kirkland beers are brewed by Gordon Biersch which also brews the Trader Joe's beers which are under kosher supervision All of the Gordon Biersch kosher certified beers are under the Va'ad of Detroit.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
