Hoppin’ Frog Mean Manalishi Double IPA is an IPA that is going to kick your ass. It clocks in at 8.2% ABV and is every bit a double IPA as you would expect from an alcoholic frog. Extreme hops and full of flavor, this is sure to please the IPA lovers out there.
Explore the extremes of hops, and experience all of their bitterness, flavor and aroma with this Double I.P.A. An extreme, super-assertive and satisfying amount of American hop character is balanced with a toasty, caramelized, intense malt presence.
Brother David’s Abbey Style Ale is a Belgian-esque triple made in the US by Anderson Valley Brewing in Boonville, California. It clocks in at 10% ABV and uses European hops for extra authenticity.
The comparatively light body of this beer is achieved by substantial additions of candy sugar in the kettle and medium-high carbonation level. The hopping has been kept low, with the use of classic European hop varieties to give just a hint of spiciness.
And the name says it all. More hops than your body can tolerate at any one time, so it must be consumed slowly. There are unsubstantiated rumors of people trying to smoke this beer, and I urge you fair citizen, don’t. Do however pick up one of these puppies as quickly as you can, and prepare to induce a hop stooper unlike any you’ve experienced before. The beer comes in at a paltry 104 million IBU’s (intenational bad-ass units) and pour slowly because one in 3 bottles has a fist in it. It is truly the Chuck Norris’ Beard of beers.
If you like hoppy beers, prepare to be amazed by Bell’s Hopslam ale. I recently described this the epitome of an IPA with extra hops and a hint of blonde flavor. The hops are a bit overpowering at first but smooth throughout the finish. I’m not going to go in to a long description about this but suffice it to say, just pick it up if you can still find it. Here’s what the brewery has to say:
A biting, bitter, tongue bruiser of an ale. With a name like Hopslam, what did you expect?
States Available: FL, IN, KY, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, OH, PA, VA, WI.
Allagash Oddysey is an ale aged in oak barrels, similar to whiskey or wine, and parts in stainless steel barrels which are later combined. The different aging processes and wheat combine to form a very unique beer. Recommended food pairings are almond crusted chicken and steak. Odyssey will go well with lighter desserts as well, such as crème brulee or white chocolate.
Odyssey is the second edition in our Barrel Aged series. It is a dark, 10% ABV wheat beer. We age a portion of the beer in New American Medium Toast Oak, and a portion in stainless steel for more than six months. We then blend the two different portions of beer to taste. Finally we bottle condition, adding additional yeast and Candi sugar.
