Combat Spandex
Hoof Hearted Brewing

1 PINT can
Served in an oversized wine glass

This beer pours a hazy yellow color and is topped with a fleeting head.

Feint mango aroma. The vanilla is easier to pick out. The kiwi is AWOL.

The vanilla is still top dog. The mango goes well with it. I really don't get any kiwi.

Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel

Easy drinking for the abv.

Pours a hazy dull orange color with a foamy white head that reduces quickly to a faint ring. On the nose, sour, almost a sickly sour. As it warms, it picks up a sour-patch kid kind of aroma. The palate is not as sour as the smell, but the sourness does build as you drink it. I get a lot of tropical fruitiness on the front. Sour on the finish but with a hint of lactose sweetness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, this is a flavor bomb that throws your taste buds into overdrive, I liked it but I couldn't imagine drinking more than one of these at a time! I'd buy it just for the can!

A most unusual Triple IPA for sure -
Tremendous can art which drew me in to buy the mixed 4 pack -
Sour Triple with all sorts of juicy flavors -
Beautiful color and pour -
I like sours so it was an interesting twist, but I can imagine a lot of beer drinkers having a problem as the nose is bizarre on this one .

11.4 abv so a killer !

Definitely a juicy banger !!

CHEERS !!

16oz can poured into a tulip
Purchased just for the can label

A- pours a hazy dull orange color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a ring

S- initial aroma of super acidic sour candies. Beyond that recognizable aromas of kiwi and mango pop from the glass, as well as lemon zest and milk sugars

T- super fruity up front with a big mango note, followed by sour kiwi and lemon. Mid-palate brings in some creamy milk sugars with a hint of vanilla. The finish is sour, with more mango and kiwi on the linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns into a creamy finish

O- wow, this is an onslaught of flavor. Not exactly high drinkability but tasty nonetheless

 

 

I didn't know what to think about this brew. The can is disturbing - cartoons of two men stuffed into spandex, wrestling. And the price (almost $5 a can) means it must meet a high standard. I warmed it up to about 50 degrees (shooting for 46, like it says on the label).

It pours a not nearly translucent yellow with no head to speak of. Not like the New England IPAs, but not unlike them in color (just nothing of the cloudiness).

The aroma is of a science experiment. Woof. It smells yeasty and boozy and dangerous. Like you could use it to clean your car.

The taste is an out of this world sour bomb with loads of other things going on, like a sweet tang, a bitter streak - malty and yeasty things be a happening. It packs a punch too.

Highly recommended. Delicious. Not so much IPA as sour ale.
