This is the quintessential Short’s Brew, incapable of truly fitting into a specific style, Huma is big in every way it can be: big on bitterness, big on malt backbone, big on piney waves of citrus and wildflowers. This is Joe Short’s favorite beer, the first beer he poured at the Pub and the last beer we all pick up at the end of a hard day’s work or play.

Bot & boy do I wish I could tell the minute differences between IPA hops. All I feel is the overwhelming bitterness everytime I drink a good one. So powerful, so thick, so mouthcoating, so terribly on style. Think pine tar mixed with a combination of fruity turpentine, hand soap and then chewing on way too green bitter grapefruit rinds. Somewhat mildly volatile aroma. Probably treads into the IIPA imperial category.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy vibrant copper color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was bitter, pine, fruity, rough and earthy. The flavor was bitter, floral , herbal, earthy and rough. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Tap at Pyramid Scheme. Almost clear dark golden with off white head with lots of lacing. Mango, quite some caramel, dank weedy hops, a bit of cardboard, green leaves and grassy. Medium sweet and bit over medium bitter. A bit over medium bodied with over medium carbonation.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home after a nice run. Appearance is a cloudy amber gold with a small white head. Aroma is rich in dirty hops, smells 'dank'. Taste is pretty good, more hoppy than other IPA's out there. Good stuff.

Clear orange beer, creamy irregular off-white head, rather stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: vegetables, some cabbage or broccoli, peanut? (Thanks for the power of suggestion, ElManana! :p ) Also floral, bit soapy, some honey. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, honey, bitter, some peanuts, bit metallic. Aftertaste: bit sweet, malty, hoppy, grassy, more peanut, little funky.

Brutal. Empecemos por ahí. De lo más amargo que he probado hasta ahora. Esos 140 IBUs lo dicen todo. Empecemos. Aspecto típico APA / IPA, ámbar clara, algo turbia, no mucha espuma…Aroma inicialmente malteado y pronto herbal, prevaleciendo pino. Sabor ultra lupulado, manteniendo el pino que esconde otros más cítricos, e incluso algo de malta. Y un final extraordinariamente amargo que brota de repente, pronto. Se trata de una cerveza realmente increíble, en cuanto a la explosión de sabor lupulado y amargor que perdura, perdura y hasta se repite largamente. Sólo para muy acostumbrados a IPAs, imperial IPAs, etc… Tremenda. El lúpulo acampa en tu boca para quedarse un fin de semana….
