Description
Scofflaw burst onto the scene during the latter half of 2016 and has quickly become recognized for its highly sought after IPAs and Stouts including Basement IPA, POG Basement IPA, as well as its higher-gravity IPAs such as the Double Jeopardy and Hooligan. Scofflaw's Absentium Stout, and in particular the Barrel Aged Vanilla Absentium stout, are coveted among traders. Even so, Scofflaw's focus continues to be on Atlanta's west midtown area and its surrounding neighborhoods, such as the Bolton hood.

This dirty bitch liked the taste of the dirty beaches. A saison that tastes like a tropical IPA, let me get my shades and cool down.

Nice easygoing IPA, hazed as hell with tons of bright papaya, stone fruit, lemon zest, and berry. Toasted cracker malt base is underlined by earth and chive. Finishes with notes of pine, white bread, and resin. Tasty.

Twice the Basement, which, while nice, is little too much Basement for one beer. Thick and chewy, strong on the caramel and toast, offset by orange, lemon, mango, and the tiniest bit of pine. Tasty, but the uber-heavy mouthfeel makes the sweetness cling a little too much; more bitterness is needed to counter the malt. No trace of the alcohol, though, and my glass seems to be empty.

Can thanks to Sarah! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of citrus orange and citrus with some earthy guava and a light grain note underlying. Flavor is orange forward with touches of passionfruit and guava and a sweet grain backbone.

Got in a BIF with KMitch. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy medium golden amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge lightly tart/tangy passion fruit, guava, orange juice, fruit skin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Huge juiciness on aromas. Fantastic aromas with awesome balance and complexity of fruit, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, and moderate bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy passion fruit, guava, orange juice, fruit skin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and light fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of passion fruit, guava, orange juice, fruit skin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, fairly crisp/resinous/rindy, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is an incredible IPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; extremely smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Awesome Citra/Chinook showcase. Extremely juicy hops/fruits with some dank/earthy notes; nice bready malt backbone, and minimal residual sweetness from crisp/resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering. Loved it just as much as the base beer, but the aromas were the highlight this time with the fruit juiciness.

Outstanding Simcoe/Galaxy/C's profile. Extremely juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; nice sized bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, very amazing style example. Loved the hop profile as expected.

Never thought they'd improve Basement, but damned if F*** Cancer isn't even more jam-packed with citrus and peach, with passion fruit and a mild earthy bitterness popping up on the fade. Malts add a touch of grain to pad out the middle, and the finish has just enough hop vitriol to give this can a leg up on its forebear. Medium-bodied texture is oily and crushable, while the nose offers up passion fruit and grapefruit with reckless abandon. Friggin' awesome pint (since we're censoring ourselves).

Medium brown, no head. There's a lot of chocolate, and a light coconut accent. Full body, with chocolate, coconut, some sugary sweetness.
