Tyranena Bitter Woman IPA

Bottle courtesy of Dansting. Thanks for the bottle, Dan. Pours a hazy, nearly-clear amber with three fingers of fairly dense off-white head that collapses to a thin skin. The nose is of a chemical/plastic note over stale, earthy, spicy and "pitty" apricot hop notes; meh. On the light side of medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter, dry, mildly resinous finish. The flavor is like whole apricots (pit and all) along with earthy/spicy hops over pale malt. This is a decent beer but not a great IPA.

Sampled at a friends during a tasting of midwest IPA’s. This was the 3rd taste and he lined them up to get better and better. A nice and very easy drinking IPA. More bitter than the 5.75% would lead me to believe (I would guess it to be 6.5%). Nice beer and not overpowering.

Bottle from Archer Liquor. Pours amber with very little head. Mild caramel aroma. Medium body with creamy carbonation. It is bitter. Really. Dry. Lightly astringent. I think there’s a mixed lot of hops here. Some floral. Some pine. Maybe grapefruit. Tastes better than it smelled at first!

Bottle at Monks Café, Wallingatan. Cloudy amber coloured with a small white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma of pine needles and grass. Fruity flavour of hops, caramel, pine needles and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale amber, rich head. Nice, trong grapefruit aroma, Mid sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Lots of piney grapefruity hops. medium bodied, somewhat fruity with marked bitter finish. Very pleasant IPA with good bite.

Nice orange/copper pour. Good head and nice balance with the hops and bitterness. Citrusy taste and odor, a very decent IPA

12 oz. bottle from Woodman’s Food Market in Madison, WI. Dark orange pour with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, caramel, and toffee. Bitter hop flavor balanced with some caramel sweetness. I would have prefered the hops to be more present but still not bad.
