More Dodge Less Ram
Comrade Brewing Company

 

Another beer consumed in Denver, early June 2019, this one at Comrade Brewing. Awesome backstory to the name of this beer, a Dodge Ram crashed into the brewery.

Anyways, this is an amped up version of Superpower. Has the usual proper appearance for a Comrade beer, golden, 1/2" white head, rockin' clarity. Aroma was the weak spot of the beer (relatively speaking compared to the other aspects that were all good), even though its triple dry hopped, Superpower IPA is a bittering hop kind of beer, so its not much surprise that even if you triple dry hop a beer with bittering hops, it isn't going to be pungent like some of the sexier proprietary aroma hops (Citra/Mosaic) they have banging around these days.

The taste still rocks a respectable C hop bitterness replete with grapefruit and pine sap. Speaking of Sap, its like a poor man's version of that beer (which is one of the greatest Chinook beers ever). Would bang again, check it out.

L - Clear as day, like all of Comrade's (single!) IPAs - this is NOT an imperial.
S - Dank, dusty, pine forests, with some light cat pee off to the side. Not in a bad way, in a good way.
T - Fantastic - a more floral, aromatic, and dry/crisp version of Superpower IPA basically...delicious. Think a Rocky Mountain Pliny (Elder) and you're there.
F - Great but not overbearing carbonation. Stays lively, good stuff here from the triple dry-hopping.
O - a fantastic beer. Didn't think they could improve on regular Superpower but they fucking did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On tap at the brewery. Looks pretty much the same as regular Superpower to me. Pungent aroma, extra hoppy. The flavor was good but damn was it bitter to me, almost too bitter and I love hops. Good beer but I prefer regular Superpower.
