Grimm Castling

Escape Square by Grimm, a New England IPA brewed in the heart of New York, is a testament to the vibrant and aromatic potential of this beer style. As you pour it into a glass, expect a hazy, golden hue typical of its kind, inviting you with a bouquet of lush tropical and citrus aromas. The beer's flavor profile is a harmonious blend of juicy tropical fruits and zesty citrus, providing a delightful interplay with its balanced bitterness. While the exact ABV and IBU remain undisclosed, the smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel and well-measured hop presence suggest an expertly crafted balance, characteristic of New England IPAs. For the best experience, serve Escape Square at a temperature of 45-50°F in a tulip or IPA glass. This not only enhances its aromatic potential but also showcases the beer's signature haziness. The rounded, bulbous shape of a tulip glass captures the aromatic bouquet, amplifying the juicy notes that define this style. As you sip, notice the evolution of flavors, where the tropical notes gradually give way to a subtle, refreshing bitterness—a hallmark of well-crafted IPAs. Food pairing with New England IPAs like Escape Square is a culinary delight. Its tropical and citrus notes complement spicy foods, such as Thai or Indian curries, by cooling the palate while enhancing the dish’s flavors. The beer's bitterness also pairs wonderfully with rich, fatty cuts of meat, like grilled pork belly or duck, creating a balanced contrast. Whether sipping alone or pairing with a meal, Grimm’s Escape Square promises a refreshing journey into the heart of what makes New England IPAs beloved among beer enthusiasts.
