India Pale Ale (IPA)
Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
| User Rating: |
I sampled this beer back in 2008 just a few months into my craft beer journey. It was tough to enjoy let alone taste. The extremely high alcohol content made it hard to identify anything else. Fast forward a few years to now. This beer is not overwhelming at all. Actually, it is almost the ... [Read more]
Founders All Day IPA
| User Rating: |
I knew this beer was hitting stores near me the second week in February 2012 and I still had a hard time finding it. I was not able to get to the store the day is arrived and two days later I ended up visiting 4 different locations in search for Founder’s latest addition to ... [Read more]
Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA
| User Rating: |
4 lbs of hops per BBL go into this beer. It is dry hopped 3 separate times with Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial, Chinook, and Cascade. The bittering hops are Warrior and Simcoe which are both high alpha acid hops that lend a resinous punch to the finish which I will explain later. The finishing hops, Cascade ... [Read more]
New Holland Rye Hatter IPA
| User Rating: |
Dang! This beer has some giddy up. Both in the malt and hop categories. Allow me to explain. Once you get past the great color this beer has, an orange-copper hue, you are in for a treat. The plume of delicate foam that laces invites you to waft in the hoppy sweet smells that rise from ... [Read more]
Epic Armageddon IPA
| User Rating: |
Armageddon. This future apocalyptic battle will be nothing shy of epic as Good and Evil duke it out. A couple thinks stuck out to me right away. First, the abv is an eerie 6.66% which is the mark of the Beast. Interesting, the book of Revelation explains that evil will be vanquished so one ought to ask ... [Read more]
Port Brewing Anniversary Ale
| User Rating: |
Had this beast of a beer last year at the Bavarian Lodge and loved it. I’ll tell you right now, this thing might as well be a double/imperial IPA even thought Port calls it a Strong APA. The ABV is definitely up there and it is hoppy as all get out. Released in the Spring/Summer ... [Read more]
Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA
| User Rating: |
Fresh (2010): $22.99 for a 4 pack, but I would argue that Devil Dancer is worth it. You can enjoy one, age one, sell one, and share one. I was on my screen porch when I cracked the bottle open and poured. Even with a mild breeze outside all I could smell was a giant ... [Read more]
Cigar City Humidor Series IPA
| User Rating: |
I have a wood burning stove at my house which keeps the living room toasty during the cool winter months. In order to keep said stove fueled, I regularly head out to the backyard with my trusty double bladed axe to cut up some logs. Well, in case you have never experienced the phenomenon of ...

Three Floyds Broo Doo
| User Rating: |
Broo Doo, a beer that I’ve passed over the last couple years. Maybe it was due to the flamboyant/tripping label art which included a troll (with hops for hair), a rainbow, a princess, and a unicorn. Whatever my reason, I have definitely been missing out. When dispensed, this smooth, clear, brew ends up on the ... [Read more]
