As an IPA detester, I'm a little apprehensive about tasting the brew from this $2 bomb can. For the price, I'll mark it up as a tick, no enjoyment value added. Just remember, I rate for the enjoyment factor, not by style. First pour reveals a viscous dehydrated micturated appearance. This along with the alarming notorious old IPA volatile nose is quite concerning. First taste is, well, mouthcoating near cloying sweet and rotten grapefruit bitter. What a combination. One of the complaints I have about this impy IPA, and any impy IPA, is its pronounced over the top sweet laced excessive bitterness. The extreme hop content characterizes this beer as an emotional bitter bastard terpenes blast profile which I find totally unpalatable. Drain pour? No, I signed up for this savagely viscous session, and I shall endure and plow forward. Its simply a brutal experience akin to forcing a relationship to work that you know is doomed. I suggest this impy barbaric bitterness overshadow any potential enjoyment derived from other flavors present in this beer, such as its grapefruit character. The perception that impy IPAs are somehow superior to other beer styles, simply because they are more complex or challenging, is a notion of palatal machismo, just IMHO, an elitist attitude, a desire to showcase one’s ability to endure unpleasant flavors. There, you have the rant. You like impy IPA, put this on yer bucket list, if you have not tasted it already. I'll give this brew an additional 0.5 points just because I'm catching a little mental vacation as I near the end of the can.

Big pounder half liter can for 2 bucks at Chalet. My can don't say grazaniec, but it is 5.8% and just says tatra. So I thought it was the big gza, but I guess it aint? Must be a different alky content Jasne? Whatever. Pour is clear golden. Nice big fat head fades to nuttin after a few minutes. Mild sweet american malt likker nose. Taste is a bit like many cheaper macro pale lagers, with just a little more bite. Not bad in the middle, starts to get a shade of cloy. Half way thru the can I'm starting to feel the baltic character in this brew. Poured in the glass, very little carbonation but, suck it right out of the can the co2 provides a bit more welcome sizzle. Getting more acceptable as I near the end pf the session. Could drink a few of these but there are many other domestic cheap macro american lagers out there for less than half the price with the same, somewhat uncivilized, pale lager attributes. Not bad overall.

2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is cloudy pale with a big white bubbly head. Nose something like green pine cones. First taste is bitter fresh mild fruit. Green grapefruit rinds and snubber clubber rubber. Somewhat intense and scintillating. Not viscous like many other heavy IPA. In the middle, turning out like many other rude ass IPA; tastefully vulgar, crude, gaudy, tacky, unrefined, inappropriate, indecorous and unseemly. Just how I feel about most terribly on style IPA. Finish is not as punishing as most IPA. There, you have it.
