Had my 1000th Review tonight. AMAZING HNNNGGGGG. complexity and balance in harmony


Also quite amazing is the Anchorage White IPA. Lots of pineapple and lemon zest; with pepper, grass, and yeast spices. Extremely smooth and crisp. I hope this is a forecast of the one I made, because I used really tropical hops like the Galaxy hops in this. No brett in mine, so that will be what is missing.

Ya, that sounds about right.... It's not out of the ordinary to pay $6-12 per beer at a bar here.

I went to Surlyfest this weekend. $35 you got 4 beers (20oz), and a surly glass stein. Took the wife i ended up having close to 7 beers. Was pretty smashed.

They basically opened up the whole brewery to walk around in and drink beer, at least a couple thousand people there.

They had a few weird experiminetal beers on tap too. They had this one Called Fiery Hell. It was basically their Hell lage rinfused with some sort of hot pepper. It actually tasted quote nice, but bout halfway thorugh the stein it started to get really hot. I had to dump it.

Now speaking of dumps.....Any beer infused with anything hot is now permantly on my ban list. I was on the ****ter all day sunday. I heard sound from my stomach that i have never heard before. My belly was gurgling and making noises all day. I swear to god one gurgle mad this sound like pressure hose blowing through a whoopie cushion, continuously for 30 seconds. I had to check myself to make sure i didnt **** myself. I thoguth at any moment an alien was gonna burst from my stomach. My ******* was on fire, blew through like 3 rolls of toilet paper.

never, never, never again.

You shouldn't pay anything for that trash.

Sculpin doesn't taste like pine; at least not the stuff I had. Was awesome beyond belief.
West Coast was groce; awaiting freshies to arrive. Hoptimum was okay, still not great, but if you're looking to get shytty, that's the beer to do it.

[OmniscientCause]

Thats terrible

It is usually 6 bucks here too and I live like 10 miles from the brewery...and that antihero looks tasty.

I've never heard of that brewery before

[whiskeyboarder]

I have a in-depth for you fellows, but first, just a general comment. Here is tonight's selection...



... And holy hnnnggg that Wookey Jack is straight cum worthy. This is my first experience and it is excellent from appearance, through aroma, and all the way through the flavor and backend and mouthtaste. Incredible.

Anyway, my review of Eight Point, an IPA from a brewery local to Virginia, Devil's Backbone.


A solid, though not exceptional India Pale Ale.



“Eight Point” by Devil’s Backbone Brewing Company. 5.9 ABV

Because it is reliably on tap at the watering hole most local to me, the neighborhood Buffalo Wild Wings, I find myself often drinking Devil’s Backbone’s Eight Point IPA or their even more well crafted offering, the Vienna Lager.


Eight Point serves as a satisfying session choice for the hops enthusiast.


Poured from the tap, Eight Point appears apricot with a small, but creamy and persistent head. In fact, refer above; the frothy head is thicker and more aesthetically appealing than anticipated from an IPA. As its contents are enjoined, the remnants of that head remain along the inner sides of the entire glass.


The beer’s most significant characteristic is presented in its aroma which is strong in pleasant pines.


Eight Point is initially a bit thick, bordering near “syrupy.” But, to clarify, this certainly is not Ruination by Stone, or Hop Stoopid by Lagunitas. By such comparisons, Eight Point is subdued. Relative to other IPAs, Eight Point is probably richer in mouth feel and likely a bit more piney in scent.


Spice dominates, hitting hardest on the backend, while lingering through the finish. Eight Point disappoints in that the enticing pine, so apparent in the aroma, is superseded far too completely by the spice that is, otherwise, tasty.


Flavor profile is heavy on bitterness, but not overwhelming. The play between the hoppy bite of the Eight Point and the moderate syrup by which it is cut is the successful interaction that makes this IPA a winner.


Eight Point features all the typical expectations of an India Pale Ale, while remaining mostly sessionable.


While in most ways not exceptional, in all those same ways, Eight Point is mostly adequate. In aroma, it even exceeds adequacy.


Not remarkable. But enjoyable. TheCraftBeerGuru.com rates it three of five stars, with a above average recommendation. Don't pass up your preferred IPA for Eight Point, but if it an alternative is desired, give it a chance!


Cheers.
