About: I remember my first beer...actually, I don't. It was probably something horrible like a Coors light and I'm glad I've forgotten. My experience with beer has come full circle. Originally I gave up on beer because I thought it was all crappy lagers. One day in 2002, I happened upon a little deli called Hollingshead in Anaheim, CA that just happened to have a vast array of "crazy" beers on tap I had never heard of. I dug the look of the STONE IPA handle and tried it. My life has never been the same since. I was in love with hops, grains, and the amazing beauty of what beer can really be.
I love bold flavors and extremes. Belgiums and homebrewing my own beer.See Authors Posts (76) | Filed under: Beer Reviews
Name: ‘76
Brewery: Buckeye Brewing
Overall Rating: A
Style: Imperial IPA
Serving Style: 22oz Bottle
ABV: 7.9%
IBU: Unknown
Price: $5.99
Appearance: Super clear, lighter than I expected for such a heavy brew.
Aroma: Faint flora notes.
Flavor: Hop heaven. Super hoppy, balanced taste. Almost barely wine-esc.
Body: Full
Enjoyability: This is one of the best Imperial IPAs I’ve had. Gives Stone Ruination a run for the money, which is saying a lot. I recommend this brew to anyone who can find it. It’s only brewed in 1000 bottle batches a year, so good luck because I’m going back to the store and grabbing a case.
Another Take: Ba, RateBeer
