Brewery : Elysian Beer : Superfuzz Style : American Pale Ale / Pale Ale / APA Variance : Brewed with Blood Orange

8 / 10

I know what you’re thinking and you’re right. Today was one SUPER day… get it? First SUPERHOP and now Superfuzz, I guess I might as well finish my day watching Super Size Me followed by Superbad while wearing my Superman pajamas. I hate myself sometimes. Anyways, Elysian showed me some love and sent out some brews to review and according to them this beer is for “The Beginner” drinker which I couldn’t agree with more. Being a musician,  the first thing I thought about when I saw the name of this beer was the holy grail of guitar pedals, the Univox Super-Fuzz, but then I decided to Google it just to see what else came up and thank dog (not a type-o) I did. Do yourself a favor and go watch the trailer for the 1980’s hit (and by hit I mean train-wreck) Super Fuzz in which a cop gets super powers and can move stuff with his mind and dive through walls and even survive the electric chair. It’s all there in the trailer folks. Anyways, this is a damn delicious beer and I’m still trying to figure out how the hell I’ve never tasted this before but either way I’m glad I have now. A crisp clean hop bite starts things off with those aromatic and potpourri-like blood orange flavors mixing in quickly after only enhancing those floral hop notes with a minor bitterness before ending with a nice mix of those two flavors with a slight malt sweetness to wrap things up. This is blood orange done right and the fact that it isn’t overwhelming in the flavor like other beers using the ingredient only makes this that much more SUPER. Fuck, I did it again didn’t I? Oh well. For all you losers out there who are going to complain about InBev owning these guys, put a sock in it because this beer is a solid entry to the style and is even a little hazy which probably got a few craft snobs dick’s hard just seeing that word. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert I’d definitely give this a chance if it’s available because it delivers on flavor yet is light enough that you could crush a 22oz-er like it was nothing. Now get out there, wail on your guitars, and dive headfirst through a wall because… Superfuzz!

Brewery : Breckenridge Beer : Barrel Aged Imperial Cherry Stout Style : Stout / Imperial Stout Variance : Brewed with Sweet-Sour Montmorency Tart Cherries from Washington State and Aged in 50% Whiskey and 50% Port Wine Barrels 9 / 10

Ok, ok, ok, ok, I’ll admit it. Ever since selling to InBev I haven’t really sought out any of Breckenridge’s beers but now I just feel like a huge fucking asshole that I ever doubted them because this beer is killer. I really didn’t think it was possible to barrel age a beer especially in 2 separate barrels and still have it be smoother than Emma Robert’s butthole but somehow these guys pulled it off like a used condom. Unless some of you readers leave it on afterwards which makes you really friggin’ weird. A super silky chocolate covered cherry flavor starts things off with a very light alcohol flavor with more milk chocolate mixing in quickly after with a mix of sweetness and a slight tartness from the cherries before ending with a mix of whiskey and wine flavor with more of those chocolate covered cherries joining in to wrap things up. Breckenridge straight up knocked this one out of the park and regardless whatever your feelings might be about breweries that are purchased from the axis of evil, this is still 100% worth your time and is absolutely fucking delicious. If this is your first in the style consider yourself the luckiest bastard alive because this is an incredible intro into barrel aged beers and imperial stouts in general so make sure you pick this beauty in the Brewery Lane Series up ASAP. As for you members of the bastard drinking crew, get off of your fucking high horse and pick this up because it absolutely kicks ass.

Brewery : Blue Point Beer : Hazy Bastard Style : IPA / India Pale Ale Variance : None

8.5 / 10

Blue Point, I like your style. Personally I think they selected an incredible name for this beer because, well, it has Bastard in it DUH! There’s just something about seeing the word bastard on a beer can that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside and if Blue Point was here right now I’d probably give them a big hug and peck on the cheek for creating this beauty. An orange marmalade sweet flavor starts this off with a hefty pine and resin bitterness joining in quickly after before ending with a mix of oniony hop and citrus making for a delicious and quenching brew. My only real knock on this brew is that it isn’t exactly hazy in a Trillium or Tree House kind of way but instead is a less transparent version of a normal IPA. Blue Point has officially won me over and even though InBev owns them, I still have no problem drinking them with pride because the 3 beers I’ve had from them are nothing short of great. If this is your first of the “juicier” or hazy IPAs I’d probably look elsewhere because this is definitely a lot more hop forward and bitter than others like it out there which is actually a good thing because it let’s this beer stand out. As far as the pros out there, swallow your pride and pick up some Hazy Bastard and thank me later you fucks. Cheers!
