Bullet Proof
Spartacus Brewing

(review from September 2022) Can sez 9%.Another overpriced, expen$ive, underwhelming Sparty brew from 12%LLC distributors w/thick haze, decent mouthfeel/hop bite, a subtle citrusy/piney flavor & every bit as strong as its 9%.

 

 

A: Pours a milky murky bright medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright orange + bright yellow + orange + burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of thick film covering approximately 65% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/mango + stone fruit/peach + gooseberry + citrus/orange zest hops over the top of moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + pale + wheat malts with a moderate amount of lactose sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + pale + wheat malts with a moderate amount of lactose sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange + tropical/mango + stone fruit/peach + gooseberry + citrus/orange zest hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving lingering citrus/zest + gooseberry hop flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly stronger than moderate amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol (especially considering the strength/ABV) and a very pleasant creamy soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Enjoyable with lots of tropical + stone fruit + citrus + gooseberry hops flavors and aromas.

mild hoppy ipa good tasting but nothing special

Intense triple IPA, maybe my first brew from Brazil? Bright golden haze with a hefty off-white head, particulates apparent in the glass - intense fruity aroma, stone fruit and hop pellet dust, green vine, some minor impressions of white wine spritzer. Never too cloying or sweet, a well-executed triple IPA.

 

 

The pint can recommends a Teku glass. I just so happen to have two.
It poured a one-finger head that traces Belgian lacing. The aroma is citrus and fruity. The taste is more on the fruit side, hints of pineapple. Medium mouthfeel with some zest in the finish.

 

A: The beer is very hazy to pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high dense white head that left thick rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of gooseberries are present in the nose along with hints of cream.
T: The taste follows the smell but has stronger flavors of cream along with notes of stone fruit.
M: It feels medium-bodied and juicy on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is incredibly drinkable considering its strength.
