Tyranena Scurvy IPA

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

Beautiful amber color with an off-white head that has excellent lacing and retention. Smells of grapefruit, pine sap, oranges, and some other citrus. Taste is of pine sap, oranges, grapefruit, peaches, and some caramel for balance, even though hops are still dominant. Medium body with a little less than medium carbonation. I hope they brew this one again. So tasty and drinkable.

Copper color. My first impression of the smell was the smell of vodka and orange juice (Screwdriver). Smell of hops, grapefruit, cotton candy, malt, flowers, orange peal, minor caramel and pine. Taste of bitter hops, malt, grapefruit, pine, blood orange, orange peal, minor alcohol, pepper and more of the Simcoe hop flavor. I think its simco. Very fresh and an outstanding IPA. I wonder what would happen if they would mix this and Bitter Woman together????

Pours a beautiful amber/copper color with nice white head.Wonderful aromas of Citrus, orange peel, pine, and caramel malts. and hops. I thought that the orange peel may make it too citrusy,but to the contrary!It has a perfectly balanced orange flavor that beautifully blends in with the piney hop flavor!Great caramel malt backing with a great bitter hop finish! Great job Rob!

Bottle. Incredible aroma. This is what all IPA’s should aspire to in terms of aroma. Rich, sweet, syrup and tangerine. Luscious hop nose. Slightly hazy, reddish amber body with plentiful visible carbonation. Yellowish tan, milky smooth, tight bubble head that is reminiscent of a cask head. Wonderful sheet lacing. Tastes nearly identical to the aroma. Smooth, creamy, hoppy and almost perfectly balanced. Could use maybe a touch more sweetness and strength, but I’m not complaining. This is a top notch IPA that got perfect scores in 3 of 5 categories. I hope they bring this back. This is a sessionable, go to IPA.

Ton of oarnge peel zest which makes this a bit acidic but unique. Greal floral, oragne aroma. Nice priced.Enjoyed it most at cellar temperature. Did not do as well out of fridge.

Bottle, poured into a mug. The ale is clear, light copper, good white head. The hop aroma is strong, citrusy, floral. Lots of hop flavor, high bitterness, citrus, floral, resins, low clean malt flavor. Bitterness lasts a long time. Smooth medium bodied. Wow! I could not discern an orange flavor, but the citrus was there, mixed well with the hops.

Over the top citrusy orange peel aroma,if you like the citrus aspect of your hops ,this is killer,my jowls are watering ,just anticipating the tartness and bitternessthat my plalate will have to deal with, a gorgeous clear amber orange color,one of the prettiest beers I’ve ever had the pleasure to gaze at, taste is surprising, now you can see how much a difference the orange peel made. There is great citrus flavor, wonderful bitterness,but your left with a definite fruity aspect as opposed to the hop and barley finish,say of a Bitter Woman,the finish has a short fruity bitter fade,as opposed to the hoppy longer fade of my favorite brew. An excellent idea, that worked out wonderfully,very satisfying brew,thats new different. Atta boy Rob

Orangish reddish pour huge white head with thick white lacing Huge aroma lots of orange zest grapefruit a touch of pine some light sweet notes Nice well coated pal lingering dry on tongue lighty tart almost from the fruit Mmmm.. Some orange zest sweet caramels & a dry piney resinous bittering. Good stuff. My only complaint was they didn’t make this a little bigger and balance a little of the bittering with some more caramel sweetness, it was a bit more bitter than I like an IPA, but still quite good.
