There you have it, a transformed young man. Now add a pair of waist-high pants, a polo buttoned to his Adam's apple, a pair of Velcro light-up sneakers (may be substituted by slip-on Merrells), slick handsome hair, wire-frame glasses, and attractive metal braces that shine in the light. Take your average middle-school mathematician.
Although the habits listed above are all large contributing factors to their success as world-renowned mathletes, the only true key is their sense of fashion. Hot dogs, burgers, potato chips and cornhole would all go great with this beer.Oh mathletes, they're so effervescently cool. What is it that gives them their coveted spots as the alphas of seventh grade? Is it their expressions of concentration to the point of pain as they fly through a math problem (often sported by Theodore P.), their attractive mumblings as they complete complicated problems in their heads (Matt F.) or the way they confidently shuffle to their next class with messy binders about to burst (Ben H.)? The answer to all of these is No. What foods would pair well with Mathlete? Overall: Mathlete is light and crisp, with citrusy hop notes that don’t overwhelm the palate, lending to an incredibly refreshing beer. Taste: The flavor is light and dry, with low bitterness, enhancing the drinkability This beer would be great for camping, the pool, the lake, or just enjoying the sun in your own backyard.Īppearance: Light straw color with slight haze and white foamĪroma: Lemon zest, stone fruit, and oranges Lodo has been my post-run beer, but Mathlete is definitely going to take over. It’s incredibly refreshing and light, while still delivering citrusy hop flavor. What are some lower calorie IPAs or Pales Ales that you really dig?īell’s Light Hearted Ale, Dogfish Head’s Slightly Mighty, and Wowza! by Deschutes. By adding this directly to Mathlete, we’re able to get those delicious hop oils into the beer, even with the lowered ABV. They’ve taken some of the most popular varietals, like Citra and Mosaic, and extracted out all of the oils in the ratios they occur naturally in the fresh hops. “Incognito” actually refers to a proprietary line of products made by Haas in which all of the previously mentioned hop oils are contained in an easy to use liquid form. What’s so special about these hops? Will they clear my browsing history? Mathlete uses two “incognito” hop varietals from our friends at Haas. Which leads directly to the next question… Since this lower ABV makes traditional hopping methods less effective, we had to find another way to get those hop oils into the beer. These oils aren’t only important for the characteristic hop aromas and flavors beloved by IPA fanatics, but also heavily impact things like foam formation, body, and perceived bitterness. 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.
