SKA Decadent Imperial IPA

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONLacking nothing, at ten percent alcohol by volume and 95 International Bitterness Units, the Decadent truly represents all that is self indulgent when it comes to drinking beer.

Aroma of hops, fruit, citrus, light caramel malts, and some peach and melon. Poured orange/amber in color with a large, dense, rocky, beige head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of hops, caramel, malts, fruit, nectar, slight resin, and some pine. Medium body. Lightly sticky, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, hoppy, caramel finish is lightly dry.

New Beer this week in Atlanta

This was taken from the savannah Distributing report for this week. Many of you do not get this so I decided to repost.

That’s right boys and girls, as of January 1, 2011 the Peach State will officially become the 8th state in which our beers are distributed! Thanks to our distribution partners at Savannah Distributing, Georgians from Chattahoochee to Okefenokee (and everywhere in between) will soon be among the lucky souls who can call themselves members of the Lost Abbey congregation.

Over the next few weeks there will be a number of events around GA to celebrate the arrival of Port Brewing & The Lost Abbey. If you’re in Georgia (or close enough to get there), make sure to check Facebook and your favorite craft beer sites for events close to you.

Hoptaneous Combustion is a smoked imperial IPA

Now at OCBS - Olde Crabapple Bottle Shop:
Hoptaneous Combustion is a smoked imperial IPA that weighs in at 9.3% abv. All of you fans of Terrapin's Hopzilla or Hopsecutioner will love this beer. Full to the brim with loads of citrusy, grapefruit and herbal hop notes. The bitterness melds wonderfully with the sweet smoked malts but the smokiness is not overpowering, just a playful side note. 22oz bottle, limited release, A- from BA.

Review soon to follow stay tuned!!!!

 

Cheers
