Modern Times' Accumulated Knowledge IPA is one of my favorite IPAs of the year. It is one of the least bitter IPAs you are going to find, which I didn't know when I bought it, but found immediately appealing once I stared to drink it. The crisp, not bitter hops brought in a nuance and a dank fruitiness. The beer was not filtered, and I don't know whether its cloudiness actually added to the dankness or it just fooled my brain to think so. Read this article by London beer blogger Chris Hall, who actually references Modern Times in the post, as he describes the trend in IPAs away from bitterness to more complex flavors. He could have had Accumulated Knowledge's variety of flavors in mind when he wrote the post.
Accumulated Knowledge is an exclusive release for Trader Joe's.
