COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Vixnu é uma divindade hindu responsável pela manutenção do Universo, formando uma tríade juntamente com os deuses Shiva e Brahma. Esse foi o nome escolhido pela Cervejaria Colorado, de Ribeirão Preto, para a então Double Indica, cerveja hiperlupulada que já apareceu esse ano em alguns bares de cervejas especiais, como o Bar Brejas. Com potência alcoólica de 9,5% ABV, a breja é do estilo imperial india pale ale, e promete ser o nirvana dos lupulomaníacos. No novo rótulo, por sinal, Vixnu aparece em meio a um jardim de lúpulos. O rótulo acima, que ainda está em fase de revisão, foi desenhado pelo designer cervejeiro americano Randy Mosher, que já havia assinado os demais rótulos da cervejaria paulista. A referência à Índia para retratar o estilo já havia sido usada na forma de gravura do templo hindu Taj Mahal na Colorado Índica.

Bottled.Clear Amber color with a very nice foam that keeps a very nice lacing til the end. Aroma is nice sweet fruity hoppy aroma, hints of floral as well. Medium body with notes of alcohol, one of the best IPA ever... Mouth feel is long dry bitterness..

clear amber, rocky off-white head with long retention and some lacing. resin, floral, caramelized sugar, molasses, bit of lemon. medium bitter, medium sweet, but the rapadura sugar peeks through sometimes giving it a real kick of sweetness. medium-full body, sticky.

Cor laranja, espuma branca com boa persistência. No aroma, muito lúpulo, cítrico, grapefruit, casca de laranja, um pouco herbal, médio dulçor. No sabor, inicio doce, ficando amargo sem exagero, com final seco persistente. Muito boa cerveja. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

tmongoose (668) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - APR 24, 2013
Shared bottle pours a golden orange with white head that dissipates quickly. The initial aroma was bright citrus. A grapefruit to pineapple scent. On the backend of the aroma I get some pine. The flavor is very citrus hop forward. I do get a alcohol burn on the end of this. Don’t understand the big difference in style rating vs overall but this is a pretty good dipa.

Crystal clear copper pour. Thick white head with lots of lacing. Aroma is grapefruit and dank. Mild amount of malt sweetness. Flavor is pretty west coast style hop profile with a bit more sweetness. Not bad overall but lacks some refinement. ---Rated via iPhone

TwinBeer (50) - Houston, Texas, USA - MAR 18, 2013
Pour’s crystal clear see through golden orange with the aroma of sweet piney bubble gum and cotton candy.Taste is a nice sweet with a great blend of bitter and citrus that leaves the palate wishing for more. Overall this is a great double ipa, that has a wonderful balance between sweetness and hops that hides the 9.5% abv very well.

Uma imperial IPA de paladar refinado, para pessoas que gostam de cerveja forte. O creme esta muito, segura ate o final.
