yjb (108), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jan 10, 2008 very middlle of the rode beer. I’ve been really happy with most beers from the brwers gone wild, but this one that I would not seek out again. run of the mill pale-2ipa just fine
ucusty (849), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC - thanks to Facto for this tasty treat. Very refreshing after a few stouts. Dark amber pour; almost copper with white head and nice lace. Floral aroma. Piney flavor with a nice dry finish JCB (889), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to Facto for sharing! Another winner from Tyranena, a well balanced, hop forward pale that’s meaningfully distinct from their other offerings like Bitter Woman and Hop Whore. Rich and creamy pour and body, nice floral aroma, and a slightly dry, chalky finish. Satisfying even if not too unique. TheElder (49), DeSoto, Wisconsin, USA Jun 16, 2008 I wasn’t sure what to expect and had I guessed I would have been wrong. Poured a darker hue of red than I though and while the bottle said audaciously hopped I found it rather smooth. Very enjoyable and I will be back for more. Odeed (1438), Bakersfield, California, USA Jun 14, 2008 bronze body with a nice white head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass.aroma is of pine/citrus hops,caramel malts,and some oxidation.flavor is much of the same with an ice tea like finish.once again the tyranena crew come correct. Glouglouburp (1876), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 9, 2008 In short: Tasty, dry yet fruity IPA. Very interesting take on the style.
How: Bottle, 12oz, from either Ughsmash or KinginIPA (anyway both Jason and Mike hooked me up with so many kick-ass beers that who cares what this one comes from).
The look: Clear very dark red body with a medium off-wite head. Good lacings.
In long: Nose of fruit cake and fruit salad. Taste is surprisingly dry. Yeast very apparent. Dry, dusty and floury, yet with plenty of juicy and fruity flavours. Some cherry skins and a light sourness. Intense caramel with a little brown sugar and red liquorice hint. Bitterness is short but sharp with medium intensity. Overall very tasty but never aggressive. Very glad I discovered that beer, I can finally enjoy stickin it up to the man and not end-up loosing my job.
