Flesh & Blood IPA

An IPA with "orange peel, lemon flesh, and blood orange juice." It is pretty good. Nice bitterness, from the combined power of the hops and the peel. A refreshing citrus seems to come from real citrus, not hops, though I'm sure they can be contributing. A worthy brew for any occasion. ID+

Grunion Pale Ale

Solidly bitter with a nice strong hop flavor, without that being expressly dominant. But nicely pronounced at a warmer temperature. I can definitely get into this though it is more bitter than I've experienced in a hoppy beer lately. Cheers for going with both aspects of hops! MB-

Incarnation IPA

Nicely bitter and hoppy. The hops are a bit floral rather than citrusy. Quite pleasant! A nice new little hoppy treat, with a booze level I can respect! MB

Hop Skip Double Pale Ale

Nicely popping with citrus hop flavor. Basically just like their APA, but with a teency bit more alcohol. So it's great, but I'm a bit pissed at paying like $2 more per 6 pack for this than the APA for only 1.5 ABV percentage points. MB-

Passion Fruit Guppy Session IPA

This is pretty hop forward, and pretty tasty. But I'm pretty angry that I picked this out online, sent my wife to get it for me, and had no idea that it was a "session", which means low alcohol. And I paid decent money for this. FUCK all of this low alcohol "session" near beer. I'm NOT a resident of Utah! Further in this gets distinctly sour from the fruit. All around a nice beer to drink if you want flavor and to stay sober. Or use it to chase  vodka shots, as I'm doing now, and the world is back to right again! ID

Sixty One

Dogfish's blend of 60 Minute IPA with Syrah grape must. Quite nice. I love the color! But overall, nothing extraordinary. ID

Fun Size Milk Stout

Described as a stout with "peanut and chocolate flavor, cocoa nib, vanilla bean and sea salt". So I'm ready for a full on candy bar! But eh, it has some salt, but otherwise, it is just a typical milk stout. And I'm not a fan of milk stout. I paid way too much for this, hoping for something really unique. But it's just ID.

Radio The Mothership Imperial IPA

Pretty funky with hop aroma and flavor. Man, I have the privilege to live in the golden era of wonderful, flavorful beers. If this was still the same world as when I was 17, I don't even think I'd drink beer! It's all hops, but with a malt body that is essentially tasteless, but not missing, as it gives a thickness so this is not watery. Solid all around, though pricey, I like it. MB
