Drafts From the Cultural Hub of the Midwest: Bear Republic Apex, CBC Uncle Rusty
Bear Republic Apex
Web Stuff: Strong IPA
ABV: 7.5% IBU: 100+ Color: Light Copper
Crafted with a blend of American and English malts and aggressively hopped with Pacific Northwest hops, this beer reflects what our brewers believe to be the Apex of IPA.
7.5%. Now I know why I woke up drunk at 3 am. The bitterness is just right. It has a honey flavor that lingers through the finish. Very tasty.
Grade: B+
Columbus Brewing Company Uncle Rusty
This is the April "hop odyssey" beer from CBC. It's an imperial red ale. An imperial huh, now I really know why I woke up at 3 am drunk. It's pretty good, probably the best of the "hop odyssey" beers to date. The hops are fresh, unlike the creeper and arnold, which tasted musty. Nothing complex, just good flavor.
Grade: B
