Description
Since Arrogant Bastard Ale was first unleashed upon the unsuspecting public in 1997, the brand has been braving bold territory and upsetting dandies, milquetoasts and fizzy yellow beer drinkers in great numbers. Massively successful, and ever full of vip and vinegar, Arrogant Bastard Ale split off from the restrictive confines of Stone Brewing in 2015. And now, the brethren of Liquid Arrogance is free to explore, cavort and roam how they damn well see fit. For those Worthy few that wish to gaze upon the musings of Arrogant Bastard Ale, Double Bastard Ale, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Arrogant Bastard or other Bastard beers, follow along via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Arrogantbastard.com.

Tap at Hopa. Copper pour, off-white head. Sweet notes of vanilla, booze, malts and a faint woody touch. As pleasant as simple.

Can. Slightly cloudy gold. Huge head with lots of lace. Aroma is grains and bread. Taste is well balanced and tasty.

Canned. Pours deep amber with huge beige head. Basically both the aroma and taste are dominated by prominently bitter hops that are underpinned with well balanced sweet malty/caramel notes. On the palate it’s bittersweet first and laters turns to lingering bitterness. Not an overcomplicated beer, but surely a well made one.

Tap at Hopa. Deep brown, thick head. It shows sweet booze, sticky, super bitter hops, some caramel and other grainy notes. Like a strong west coast style IPA amd barley wine mix, just not quite balanced.

A sublime blend of sticky oily high alpha hoppy goodness. Loads of citrus, some nice woody, almost vanilla flavors from the oaked bastard. Some nice bready sweet malts. Really an incredible beer and incredibly easy drinking.

Looks like I’m rating 2000 for the Arrogant Bastard!
I’ve had the Oaked version, and loved it, i’m quite anxious to try this one out!
Deep amber pour, thick juicy, sticky head. Aroma is thick juicy aromatic hops. Some nice earthy hops mixed in with piney resins, and some citrus. The flavour is also very hoppy, lots of pine, and some citrus in the end. Good malt to balance out the beer. Wicked bitter finish that stick to the back of my throat, what an awesome beer!
