Elysian Immortal IPA- 5/22/15

Elysian Immorta IPA



Info: game 4 eastern conference finals...Rangers win! This pic is right before St.Louis' goal.              .

Country USA

Brewery Elysian Brewing Co

ABV 6.7%


Look: golden Amber with minimal head.

Feel: not overly carbonated with very little after burp.

Smell: distinct IPA scent with an abundance of hops.

Taste: strong, but not overpowering IPA. Even though it smells of hops, it's not overbearing in the taste.

Opinion: I really like it. It's a good solid IPA. I'd recommend this very tasty IPA to those that are not fans of overpowering IPA's. This gets a solid 8.5 out of 10.

Magic Hat- Dream Machine IPL

Dream Machine IPL


Info- I like the Magic Hat Brewery so when I saw this one I had to give it s shot. I mean why not right?

Brewery- Magic Hat Brewery

ABV-5.7%

Country-USA

Look- Golden Amber

Feel- Pours heady with some carbonation.

Smell-at first it smelled like a light IPA hence the IPL lol. I ever thought I'd be able to smell differences between ale and beer.

Taste- BITTER, quite bitter.


Opinion- I didn't mind it. It was pretty good. It's definitely my least favorite of the Magic Hat Brewery (of those I've tried anyway) I'll give this one a 6 out of 10.

Three Eyed Raven

Game of Thrones
Three Eyed Raven




Info: in honor of the last of the pirated Game of Thrones episodes and me having to avoid spoilers from inconsiderate people, we decided to review one of the Game of Thrones themed beers.

Brewery: Ommegang

Country: Westeros? (Or USA - Cooperstown NY)

ABV: 7.2%.

Look: Dark, almost black. I suppose that is what they were going for with Three Eyed Raven...

Feel: Very heady, and carbonated. (Not much after burp though)

Smell: this was tough. First whiff, maltish... 2nd whiff was a hint of fruit... 3rd whiff ale is a good description... Not too hoppy not too malty.......lol

Taste: Avery strong bitter.

Opinion: I really liked it. I'm a huge fan of the show and I assure you this has nothing to do with it. It was really good. Tasty, strong, and though the third whiff smelled of beer, it did not have a strong beer taste. It was quite good. I give it 8 out of 10. Good beer.
