Commercial Description:
The biggest farm animal to come out of the SweetWater Barn! We bucked up and threw everything, including the kitchen sink, into this "Jackass" concoction. At 10% ABV and over 90 IBU - You’ll know it when it hits you in the back of the head!

Big malts on the nose, caramelly, spicy resiny hops in the aroma. Pour gold with a solid white head. Big malts, caramel, molasses, with resiny hops in the finish. Not bad.

Sweet and hoppy aroma with some malt. Flavor is also hoppy and sweet without being cloying. Not bad but not overly impressive.

@ LCRBM 2009. A hazy dark amber colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma of hop bitter with sweet of a lot of fruits. The taste is dry some hop bitter. It’s fruity like citrus and mango. The aftertaste is gentle bitter and some sweet.

Slightly amber colored beer. A lot of citrus aroma and taste coming from the obvious american hopps.

Taste is very musky sour. The hops are far over the top. Really cool to taste this "experiment"!

Small yellow rim over faintly hazy foxy-orange beer. Hoppy, grapes, sultanas, cakebottom, very American. Sweet-hoppy (yes...) with relatively little bitterness, lots of fruity esters as citrus and banana, without getting a Weizencharacter. Very well-bodied, slick to the point of oily-viscous. Excellent, if a tad to the sweet side IMO.
