HeBrew Bittersweet Lennys R.I.P.A

Pours a deep amber color. Very flowery and citrucy aroma, not much head. Very hoppy. Would be a great beer except for the aftertaste, which reminds me of old socks and wet dog.

The beer releases from the 22 ounce bottle reddish amber with a large creamy of white head that slowly fades leaving the lace a firm sheet upon the glass. Nose is rich in sweet malt, the big hop flowery aroma under pins the malt, citrus like in its crispness, fusel alcohol quite noticeable, grassy, start has a pleasant malt presence, alcohol and hops pound the palate, top is medium to full. Finish has a stern acidity; the hops potent, alcohol blast the taste buds. Aftertaste dry, most certainly a belly warmer, I think a little aging would help this beer, but for those who like “Big Hops” and “Big ABV”, this is your beer.

Appettizing amber color with nice head on top.Smells of caramel and hops. First sip brought me to a different place.. Slightly sirupy with a superb maltiness and tasty hops in the finish. WICKED BEER! i had not looked at the alcool % and really could not tell it was 10%.

Wow. Really surprising. I’ve also considered the HeBrew beers to be a joke. An assumption made only because of the packaging. But this is a nice double IPA. Really strong tasting. Full. Nice malt. I’d buy this again.

From Fairway,redhook. Absolutely the supreme IPA. Carmelised hops,with the strenght of the xtreme IPAs--arrogant bastards et al, but without the medicinal aftertastes. Just really nice drinkable stuff.

Bomber split with ’Naka courtesy of Big ’Naka via Little ’Naka. Pours amber red with nice white head, 1/2 a finger, slightly foamy. Strong nose of rye bread and alcohol, a bit of hops, mainly floral. Rye and alcohol are predominate, with carmel following, and a great finish of hops. "It’s the proverbial ’party in my mouth and everyone’s invited’", said ’Naka. I couldn’t agree more. Fantastic beer. I want to drink more of it.

From www.bottletrek.com Pure copper pour with off-white head. Pine and carmalized sugar nose. Bold hoppy front, yet not to the point of over-the-top. Great balance between the malt and the hop. Medium to full mouth feel with a crisp hoppy finish.

Pours a deep, translucent copper with a large creamy/frothy off-white head that reduces to a thin cap, leaving delicate lacing behind. The aroma is literally intoxicating: caramel, cookies and candied pears soaked in dark rum with solid notes of rye and pine as well. Fairly full-bodied with tongue tingling carbonation and a nice bitter end with a squeeze at the back sides of the tongue. Bold round caramel malt with a dry/spicy rye backing and a bold, piny and resinous bitter hop finish. It’s fairly well balanced with a hop forward profile backed by just enough malt to keep your face from caving in. It may not be quite as good as Hop Rod Rye, but it’s pretty damn good and I can get it locally.
