What: Commodore Perry IPA, Great Lakes Brewing Co. Clevalnad Ohio
Background: A medium-bodied and well hopped India Pale Ale with a dry, fruity aftertaste.The Bow Brewery in London exported this pale ale to the multitude of British soldiers, colonial administrators and settlers in India. This pale ale style was a strong candidate for shipping due to the high potency and high level of attenuation. 6.4% Alcohol availible in 6 or 12 packs
Review: If theres one thing I dont like about trying new beers is beers that taste fruity... alas trying to expand my brew pallete I picked up this for my second installment on the brew blog. It might have been then cool backstory on the case and bottles or it might have been the high percent of alcohol per volume, more likely the ladder as it was a long day of school if I remember correctly. Anyways pouring it into my pint glass I could immediately smell the fruit in this brew, and my stomach was having second thoughts about the whole thing. I admit the first sips.... hell the first glass did not go down very smooth for me. Each time I forced a gulp down I instantly grimaced as the after taste coated my mouth and throat. After that though the second one went down fine , the third one I slammed and after that .... forget about it I was buzzed nothing mattered
Bottomline: Would I buy it again, Hell No... but I did get me hammered. And Ill drink any beer based off of American Wars
