IPA day at Toronado SD

I went. Honestly, there's nothing crazy.

 

Citra is/was on, along with plenty of other great stuff.

 

You can get a good feel of what's being poured at a place by using Untappd. You need to create an account, which is relatively easy to do.

One of my friends went and got an Alpine O'Brien's IPA but the beer they gave her was a huge malt bomb. So she wasn't sure if they gave her the wrong beer or if it's just a bad batch of O'Brien's. Did anyone else have it and have the same experience?

 

i wouldnt say it was a malt bomb but obriens ipa is certainly the maltiest alpine offering

 

She said the one she had was very malty which is why she questioned it. And I don't recall O'Brien's being malty at all in the past. If I recall correctly, more west coast hopforward with lots of pine (closer to a Green Flash IPA than an Alpine). I'd say that Alpine Ale, Exponential and Pure Hoppiness are all more malty than O'Brien's too.

 

I had Obrien's IPA last night....wasn't any maltier than previous batches (that I could tell). West Coast IPA is an accurate comparison IMO

 

Yup, I do this all the time. Also helps that a lot of my friends push their more “interesting” check-ins to Twitter.

 

Went after proposing to my girlfriend. Had many a good beer. Woot Woot!
