Comrade Brewing More Dodge Less Ram

What the brewers say

Triple dry-hopped version of Superpower IPA, brewed after a truck crashed into the brewery.

What our panel thought

Rich tropical hops aroma with pine and resin notes to balance. Tropical fruit up front with a noticeably bitter finish that comes across clean instead of harsh. Enough malt character to balance. Some candy-like notes lin-ger on the swallow.

What our editors thought

Crisp peach and funk notes become a very soft but present bitterness in the sip that quickly lingers as more peachy funk. Confident and intense in its high-key balance.

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Comrade Brewing Superpower IPA

__Aroma:__ “Big pine and lemon aromas dominate. Some herbal and floral notes beneath with hints of orange, grapefruit, and some tropical fruit. Nice bready malt, verging on Pilsner malt.” __Flavor:__ “Orange and tangerine dominate the palate with notes of grapefruit, some lemon, and a little tropical fruit (mango and pineapple). The hops come through from the start to the finish of the sip. Nice balancing malt. Some nice bitterness in the finish helps cut the sweetness. Balance is pushing IIPA, but in a massively drinkable way.” __Overall:__ “Crazy drinkable with lots of hops complexity. Pushing the lower end of IIPA, but tasty with good hops character. The balance and malt bill highlight the fruit. The sweetness and bitterness are nice, with the bitterness lingering a bit into the finish.”

Jagged Mountain Brewery Texas Suitcase

“Subdued aroma of mild orange peel, soft pine resin, guava, light pilsner malt sweetness. The flavor continues the same trajectory with biscuit and pie crust, black pepper, anise, grapefruit peel, light resin, and grass. Malt sweetness helps showcase bitterness in the finish.”

Outer Range Brewing Co. One More Frontier

__Aroma:__ “Lemony and dank, like a Lemonhead that you rolled into some spruce tips. Orange and blood orange in the background. There’s also a minty thing going on. Toasty malt notes.” __Flavor:__ “Candied lemon pulls through on the flavor. Definitely a hint of grass but not the pronounced pine that is suggested in the aroma. Also some orange sweetness, pithy, with a lemongrass note on the finish and hints of strawberry. Bitterness is more pithy lemon than straight up harsh hops bitterness. Balance is sweet throughout but finishes dry and slightly bitter.” __Overall:__ “Really interesting complex hops aroma with lemon, mint, and pine. Very balanced overall. Very enjoyable with a likeable interplay of grassy hops character and bitter finish.”
