Bomber from brewery. Clear, pale with small foamy head. Strong hoppy aroma, cleaning solution. Hops also rule the taste, big, potent, lots of alcohol warmth. Sipper.

Served in a 4oz tumbler from the glass.
Appearance: clear but a touch hazy with a white head rising.
Smell: hops
Taste: Very boozy beer, bit heavy malt and citrus skin to go with.
Mouth: Medium to full carbonation coming of a touch sweet.
Overall: Good brew, granted I share the bottle with a few friends. Boozy like I said before yet tasty and malty. Worth the grab. Salud!

Fantastic! I’m not usually a fan of IPA’s but this was superb. Not at all what I expected. The slogan on the bottle is: “Borders on insanity.” When I took my first sip, I literally said “This is Crazy!” If you see this beer, Buy It! Forget about the abv, taste makes this beer.

Sweet hoppy aromatics on this one! Taste follows with a smooth and creamy bitter finish that is slightly boozy...but expected at 15% ABV! Its supposed to be a quad or QIPA...but this is pretty good!

On draft at Loosa Brews, Tuscaloosa.
Kegged 04/04/19, 12.5%.
Bright golden pour, with soft, consistent head that settles to about a quarter inch above the beer and leaves pretty heavy lace retention all around the inside of the glass.
Lots of dank hops on the nose, piney/earthy predominantly. Decent malt bill rounds it out nicely.
Sharply bitter and hoppy flavors, but a distinctly sweet malt presence as well. The two combine and balance fairly well, but those pithy hops definitely showcase here. Pretty straightforward, malty/hoppy/boozy.
Smooth, sticky, resinous as hell. Low but sharp carbonation and very boozy going down. Hop bitterness lingers.

I think this beer is exactly what the label says it is- 14% alcohol super hop ass kicker. I had a crap day and love ipa’s so this was perfect. Drank the whole 22 over dinner and now I’m buzzing with hops on my breath.
Look: coppery nw.
Smell: hops bitch
Taste: POW! Hops and booze. Or maybe booze then hops.
Feel: yup. Got some. Not too thick, not too thin.
Overall: The reviews that describe this as a barley wine make sense. It’s an over the top banger for ipa lovers who had a crap day. Or for hop lovers who want to melt into their bar stool.

12/19/17 - Draft 10 oz pour into snifter, $17 w/ tax and tip. Copper light pour, minimal white head. Sharp and pleasant pine hop aroma. Very sharp and bitter hops taste, pleasant for my taste. Firm dry mouth feel, strong beer but not overwhelming. Overall excellent beer, glad I closed with this one.
