MrSpooks Profile

Tasty WCIPA, heavy waves of grapefruit, passion fruit, and peach, with a little tangerine and maybe a touch of mint, followed by a modest pine bitterness. Good pint!

Drinkable Mexican-style amber lager, with initial notes of toasted bread and caramel, followed by a gentle floral bitterness and a rather drab fade. Eh.

Turns out rye malt doesn’t really improve Torpedo. Spicy rye notes are nice but I’m still not a fan of the dull hop flavors this beer provides, mostly coming across as a flood of pine laced with citrus pith. Looks pretty, though.

Dual Torpedo from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

6.5/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5.5

Just kind a messy, unfocused DIPA. Drinkable, but the DDH intensity just ain’t there, mild citrus and tropical fruit, lots of pine, but no defining characteristics, just spiky bitterness. Eh.

1790 Root Beer Brew from Samuel Adams

5.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 2 Texture 9 Overall 2

I mean, yeah, it definitely has a root beer vibe to it, but there’s a cloying/medicinal bittersweet element that kills the pint, as if hard root beer is a concept best left to the 18th century. Perfect in every way except for the abysmal taste.

Days of Thunder from Five Wits Brewing Company

Okay, kinda ugly in the glass and with a hefty caramel sweetness offset by mighty waves of pine and a little citrus. Undercarbonated, which accentuates the sweet streak.
