Tyranena Bitter Woman IPA

Brewed by Tyranena Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

standard clear toffee color. hop-dominated aroma without any unbalance or over-the-top sharpness. slightly watered down middle, quite bitter back end. extraordinarily simple, but perfectly fits the style. very drinkable. btw, wtf does "wisconsin variation" mean?

Pours hazy gold with orange tint, with small fluffy white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Taste was more sweet than bitter. The hops were present but not really strong.

Not as bitter as I would have expected. Had a very good amount of citrus (especially grapefruit and lime) present in the flavor. Nose of hop oils. Overall a very good IPA, but not better than Bitter Woman From Hell.

Tyranena Bitter Woman pours a hazy apricot color. It has a nice, foamy beige head and a generous amount of carbonation that sustains the remaining puffy crown. There is also some lacing that as a layered appearance to it. Sweet toffee malts and a blend of peach and light apricot hop aromas entise the nose. The flavor has toasted malts highlighted by some light caramel and toffee. The initial moderate level of bitterness crescendos through the floral finish. This beer is nicely balanced overall and has a medium body. The texture is smooth with a bot of creaminess. This is a very satisfying IPA. What a great brew. I am definitely looking forward to trying the other Tyranena IPAs!

12 oz bottle from buckybeer via trade (Dec 2006). Thanks Mark!

Im going from memory here. Bitter is a good name for this beer. Not bad though

From the bottle, courtesy of MrBendo, pours a hazy orange, thin white head with nice lacing. Smells rather pine-ey. Taste is not quite as bitter as the name would have you believe, though I would certainly call it bitter. Bitter earthy hops and some malty tastes make up the flavor. Pretty good beer.

Bottle. Thanks to Stine for sending me this. Poured a deep golden amber body with thin head. Light citrus aroma with a big caramel scent. Flavor was slightly bitter sweet with citrus, light hops, and a nice caramel mouthfeel. Pretty smooth.

Bottled. Poured hazy medium golden with a short cap of white head and some yeasties floating around in there. Really enjoyed the aroma of pine and citrus bitters over sweet caramel. Flavor wasn’t half bad either.. sweet pine and citrus base with sharp, but well-placed pine resin and grapefruit bitterness surrounding. Medium-bodied with well-done higher bitterness to it... long, bitter, and slightly cloying finish. Very nice overall.
