Commercial Description:
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

Very nice reddish amber color.Tall foamy head.sweet malty aroma,as well as a very nice sweet fruity aroma hard to describe the fruit but it has an almost bubble gum aroma,very nice,and a definate hop presence but not overly so just the right amount.The flavor is fantastic malty sweet with a mild punch of hops,with a strong taste of what i would say is grapefruit.kind of like an intense alcohol infused can of squirt.That leaves a citrus,hop after taste that is more then pleasant but fantastic.This is one smooth brew with everything i'm looking for flavor,hops and just a total all around drinkability that i haven't run into until now.The double bastard was good but i think the arrogant bastard slightly edges it out.the taste is there the alcohol is there and they are fused in a manner that makes it very harmonious.what a trade this is the best ASA hands down.

Money. This beer has excellent malting, with a nice bit of bitterness. Just excellent flavor. Starts off a bitter and and finishes smooth. One of the best ales I’ve ever had. Nobody is worthy.

Listen up, you filthy maggots! I will teach you the ways of beer-loving whether you goddamned pussies like it or not! Because inside every fizzy yellow macro-swiller is a beer-lover trying to get out. You, what’s your name? Bullshit! From now on, your name is Yellowbelly. You like that name? Good, ’cause from now on, you’re gonna be down lickin’ up the floor of my head until you learn to love good beer, you miserable little piece of shit! You, wipe that smile off your face! And you, wipe that fizzy commie yellow-deer-drinking bitter-beer grimace off yours! You make me sick! You make me want to vomit, right in your fizzy yellow beer, just so you have something of flavor in your drink! You little worm! You bottom-fermenting ass-eating scumbag! I’ll kick your ass! I’ll shit in your beer just to give it color and aroma! Now drop and give me 25! You, what’s your favorite beer? Guinness, eh? Really sophisticated, huh? I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister. *WHACK!* Now get back up on your feet! Why did you join my beloved corps? So you’re a drinker, eh? Let’s see your beer face! Bullshit, you didn’t convince me! AAAAGGHHHH, that’s a beer face! Work on it! And you, what’re you looking at you ugly fuck! You’re a yellow-beer-drinking wussy too, huh? I don’t think I heard you correctly! I think I just heard the level of class in this entire platoon drop by 200 points! I bet you drink beer like old people fuck! Here, have a splash of some real beer in your eyes! Here, gag on this! You happy now? You like my bottle? Do you think it’s cute, do you think it’s funny? Bullshit! I’ll kick your ass so far up between your shoulder blades, you’ll have to stand on your head to take a dump! What, you don’t like your head in a toilet boil? Then get your face out of that macro bottle, swillboy! Do you suck dicks? Are you a peter-puffer? That’s most unfortunate, because you’d sure as hell get better mouthfeel and flavor with that than with the pisswater you imbibe! You like real beer? I can’t hear you! Bullshit, I still can’t hear you! Sound off like you’ve got a pair! Okay, then. Goodnight ladies, and repeat after me: This is my bottle. There are many like it, but this one is mine...

This is the appellation of kick ass beer. For connoisseurs, a zenithal paradise. For novices, however, a nadiral hell.
