Mar 22, 2003 Updated: Apr 13, 2003The arrogant bastards at Stone pulled a fast one! This isn't beer; it's really fermented grapefruit juice! Hops are dominating, and the grapefruit flavor is immediate and thick. I love the color of this one too- it is dark amber/red, fitting for a beer with an arrogant gargoyle on the bottle. Arrogant Bastard is a top-notch ale, and pleasantly strong! Update...no change in score, but I found this on tap at Mac & Joes in Oxford, Ohio, a sign that the world is not yet ending, as there is good beer to be quaffed.

Feb 11, 2004 Updated: Dec 12, 2008[bottle] Pours a dark ruby red with a nice thick head. Slightly roasted nose with a very strong fruity flavor following. Initial citrusy flavor with a bitter and dry finish. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste is rather bitter but has a certain citrus and malt mix that is just delicious.

Dec 17, 2002 Deep red-orange color with nice lace. Full floral hop aroma with lots of pineapple and grapefruit in the nose. Nice malt backbone with sweet grapefruit/citrus flavors. It does taste like the Double Bastard’s little brother, but the DB is so huge that little brother is still damn good.

Jan 9, 2005 Bottle obtained from Trader Joe’s in Phoenix. Deep copper with a small white head. crisp citrus hoppy aroma, there is also a little bit of caramel? This is great, lots of bitterness up front, creamy body with lots of malt to back it up. Finish is bitter but doesn’t last quite as long as Rogue Santa. I’m looking forward to trying the Double Bastard that I have stowed away somewhere.

Jan 17, 2002 Updated: Aug 11, 2008Hoppy nose and it is caramelly and chocolaty with a roasted coffee aftertaste. Gorgeous fruity/bitter Chinook interplay. Straightforward, but challenging enough, ASA.

Apr 22, 2009 1 pint, 6 oz. bottle@Olympen,Oslo. A mostly lasting dense yellow head upon a translucent, reddish-brown colored body. Aroma has a strong earthy, grassy and piny hoppiness, (almost) balanced by some toasted dark malts and a scent of toffee/cream-caramel. Taste is dominated by earthy and piny bittering hops. Sour- sweet maltiness underneath. Notes of citrus and spices. Mouthfeel is quite sharp, bordering to astringency. Medium body strenght. A powerful and punchy one, and certainly rough on the palate.
