Psycho Killer
Birdsong Brewing
Imperial IPA – 9.4% ABV – 93 IBU
It's not uncommon to hear the Talking Heads around Birdsong. It's a go-to Pandora station, we've got a few albums tucked away, and something about their music makes people happy. At least, it does for us. So while David Byrne was channeling Norman Bates and Alice Cooper to write this song back in the '70s, Conor was honing in on his creative genius to re-create this infamous brew. While it may be slightly less imperial than last year's version, but there's no doubt that this beer packs a punch. This killer IPA uses El Dorado, Amarillo, and Columbus hops for some upfront grassy and citrus notes of lemon and tangerine. The hop aromas and bitterness qualities really come through in this beer and the subtle candy-like finish tops it off in dangerously delightful way.
