Tyranena Hop Whore Imperial India Pale Ale

Brewed by Tyranena Brewing
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

The only real differences between this and the Bitter woman is that this is more malty and a few shades darker. Tastes like they used the same hops and everything. A little less carbonated.

Pours a subtley cloudy amber-orange color with a mere smattering of head upon it. The topping manages to struggle to survive as a mere skim of foam. Laces in a wiped sheet of oily lace. Pleasing aromas of biscuity malts, oranges, and pine. However for a eber named "Hop Whore" I expected the fragrance to batter me about. Not so. Flavors give the tongue a dose of pine and citrus, along with a hefty backbone of caramel maltiness and biscuits. Smooth and sweet, bitterness is held relatively in check. This Imperial IPA does not wallop you around. Alcohol is virtually absent and drinkability is sky high.

Bottle thanks to arjoseph. Pours orange amber with a dissapating off white head. Aroma of biscuit, grapefruit, orange, and maple. Sure this is full of soft herbal and citrusy hops, but there is a nice malt backbone that blends in with flavors of caramel, maple, tea, and nuts. Nice medium mouthfeel. Hoppy finish with some short spiciness and a long lingering resiny bitterness. Good beer. Thank you sir may have another?

12oz bottle courtesy of i think Styles, Thanks! Pours a dark orangish red. Sweet, citrusy, floral aroma. The head was a thin white which quickly disappeared. Grapefruit flavors, medium bodied, and yes the name is true, it is a whore of the hops. Very well balanced, and delicious beer, i wish it was around here and i’d go looking for some whores tonight, or maybe i will anyways.

Just got in today. Tasted side by side with Bitter Women From Hell. Pours a deep orange/amber with a smooth light cotton-like head. The aroma is sweet and bitter all at once, it has a distinct green hop characteristic that isnt overwhelmingly spiking, but it is a little spicy as well. I actually note that I have begun to heavily salivate. The first taste is creamy in texture, but just so floral and hop driven, but the malt texture (a slight caramel) just brings it to level. I like BWFH, but it’s just too light in the mouthfeel to stack up. This is a bold statement, but watch out Dreadnaught, this is the next big thing in double IPA’s The finish a smooth, and coating. A MUST TRY for any Hop heads

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this bottle with me! Pours a copper color with a thin off-white head that left nice lacing rings down the glass. Big grapefruit and pine aroma with a caramel background. Light alcohol aroma as it warms. The flavor is a well rounded IIPA punch with pine, grapefruit, and malt undertones. Medium to full body, creamy and smooth. Moderate bitterness throughout. Very nice! Thanks Stevo!!

Good imperial, nothing amazing. Regular tasting piney, grapefruits, resin. A bit too sweet though. Full bodied and a bit syrupy.

Bottles from Ughsmash and 1FastSTi. Brilliant copper with average off-white head. Oily body coats glass. Huge citrus and pine aroma. Orange, tangerine, and big caramel backbone. Flavor pretty well balanced. Starts with caramel kick, fades into hop bitterness and some toasted notes through the middle. Huge hop kick near the finish, all kinds of orange zest and pine resin. Tons of residuel sugar. Thick luscious mouthfeel. Well done.
