212. Aviator Hogwild IPA


Okay, so I mentioned that the last beer I had was the last I had before I got sick.  That's technically correct, but I forgot to add one in.  Went with my buddy to a hockey game and grabbed a beer while I was there.  Ended up going with the Aviator Hogwild IPA.  The brew was poured into a plastic 24 oz cup.  Little to no head and lacing based on the pour.  Smells heavy of grass and pine notes.  Seems to be a one trick pony.

The taste is all resin and pine and not much else.  Incredibly bitter.  Too bitter.  For me, this is an absolute palate wrecker.  I had to leave and get something extra to eat just to get through this one.  Moderate body with moderate carbonation.  I wish I knew the IBUs behind this because this was a chore to get through.  I've had many an IPA and I've had some dry hopped IPAs before, but this one was absolutely not for me.  I can't recommend unless you just love bitter, bitter, and more bitter.

Grade: D-
Price Paid: $10.00 (24 oz draught)
