Ska Brewing Company Durango, CO
APPEARANCE: 2.5/3
Hazy orange-brown. Head fades, rings the glass. Big bubbles. Nice.
AROMA: 3.5/4
Hop! Lots of grapefruit, floral citrus—you could almost smell it through the bottle-glass.
TASTE: 8.5/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 3.5/4: Hop, followed by hop, then more hop. Grapefruit, orange peel, bready and sweet. Tons of malt.
Aftertaste: 2.5/3: Alcohol noticeable. Bitter finish that lasts and lasts.
Mouth-Feel: 2.5/3: Big but drinkable. Full-mouth, chewy. Alcohol warming. Probably too boozy, but we didn't mind too much..
OVERALL: 2.75/3: Big but good. Lots of hop, lots of malt. If you're a hop head, give it a try.
TOTAL: 17.25/20–Pour Me Another
NOTES:
Matt: Big, but man, this is good. From the people who gave us Modus Hoperandi, this is just as hoppy and quite a bit bigger, at a decent price point ($5-$6 for a bomber).
Ben: A giant, hoppy beer. Too much alcohol (10% ABV) for the main course, but good as an after-dinner sipping beer. Would be good paired with cheese or fruit.
