Tyranena Hop Whore Imperial India Pale Ale

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

Dark amber color. Smell of malt, pine, caramel, grapefruit, raspberries/blueberries, orange peal, grass and hops x 10!! This is a hop lovers beer. Taste of hops!!!!!!! Also I can taste everything that I can smell. Its even better than it smells and it smelled excellent! A nice bitter cinnamon aftertaste makes this beer a #5. I love the hops! WHAT A BEER FOR #200

Tangy,exhuberantpotent hop aroma,has almost a nostril drilling hop sharpness, wide scope of big hop taste, more piney then citrusy, pine needle and grapefruit aftertaste, all in a wash of malt sweetness, thats present,even prominent costarring but still bowing to the delicious hop . Rob Larson’s greatest hop performance,I dont think he can top this,we will need to see this more often,definitely preferred to the BWFH

Pours a deep amber color with a small white head.HUGE piney hop aroma with hints of caramel.Wonderful big piney hop flavor with grapefruit flavors busting through.Also has a nice caramel malt backing and a bitterness that lasts for a long time! This is a Wonderful Brew!

Big thanks to MIBRomeo for this one. The pour is deep coppery with medium off-whte head. The aroma is massive, pummeling the nose with tons of tropical fruity hops, caramel malt, and perfumy florals. You’ll smell this more thna your fingers after a heavy session with your mistress! The flavor is very hoppy and fruity, with tangerine, honeydew, and mango hints, and a hop presence that never lets up, wafted by a perfumy floral mid-palate. This one doesn’t eclipse the Dread, but it gets pretty close!

i love this beer .the dark amber color and intense hoppy aroma are exellent.

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

Bottled. Poured a lovely shade of fiery medium orange with a short-lived cap of off-white headage... clear pour with light lacing that was marred by hop oils and alcohol. The aroma was a juicy hop assault on the nose... grapefruit, pear, pine, and Mandarin oranges were the key players... sweet caramel and mild woodiness support the hoppy goodness. Spritzy pine needles and alcohol really "pop" at the tip of the tongue, transitioning to bunches of juicy citrus (orange and grapefruit), perfume, and pear hops supported by ample doses of sweet caramel. Just luscious on the palate... perfectly soft carbonation, an ideal (high) level of bitterness in the right places, and a long, bitter, and warm finish. Phenominal brew! Keep these special releases coming!

Autumn Brew Review ’07
Body is orange red with a white head. Aroma - WOW! To summarize in one word, awesome! The hops just bombard your senses. Very cool. This was THE HIGHLIGHT of the event. I am going to get my hands on this beer. Great effort from Tyranena.
