Old Sparky is the nickname of the electric chairs in Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Old Sparky is a Triple IPA, bitter as confession and sweet as redemption. The most heavily hopped AF beer so far, it took 80 days to ferment and mature to over 10% ABV. As mesmerizing and as horrendous as its electrical godfather.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is resinous hops with orange, pine resin, malt, grapefruit, touch of caramel, tangerine, bit candied with some alcohol. Flavour is medium sweet with a bitter boozy finish. Body is full. Decadent resinous hops, strong bittersweet flavour, thick and boozy. Very nice.

330ml bottle from De Moersleutel's online store. Hazed golden yellow with a decent sized white head. Aroma is moderately sweet with orangey fruity suggestions. Has a measured palatable sweetness on the palate, unlike many 10% IPAs, nice fruity chararacter, not too bitter with some pithy orange and grapefruit. Really quite drinkable.

Flarra från bolaget i hemmet. Doftar åhhh klassiskt fint av tallbarr och apelsin. Här finns nog massor klassiska USA humle i. Smakar åhhh så klassiskt gott av lite kavring och söt apelsin samt svagt ek och jordkällare. Maltig. Sååå god klassisk USA dipa. Fasst är ju såklart inte tillverkad i Staterna . Men väldigt välgjord Dipa . Sköööönt dricka i dessa nya ängland tider.

Bouteille trouvee chez ze place to be de la bière à Lille : Bière des Halles. Robe dorée/ambrée, bulles fines et mousse blanche éphémère. Nez sur l'herbe, le pin, un côté boiséet résineux très engageant. En bouche ça se confirme avec une très jolie amertume, un alcool pas trop présent malgré les 10% abv, et une jolie longueur en bouche. Sans révolutionner l'ipa c'est une très jolie bière !
