re: #99 Blind Frog Belly White

I feel like every brewer in America is saying, “Look! I, too, can buy a shitload of hops to make your teeth feel etched after a few sips!”

Yup, it’s like the Great Alcohol Wars of a few years ago between brewers in Scotland/England vs. Germany. Eventually a Scots brewer came out with “Sink the Bismarck”…

Brewer’s Description:

“Sink the Bismarck! is beer, amplified. With the volume turned full up, it is important you that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy. Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV. This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.”

That shit was 82 proof. I cannot imagine drinking it without my gums falling out. No, no, no, thank you very much, I’ll take a pass.
