Schlafly "Tasmanian Style IPA"

You ever had a beer from a brewery that doesn't get enough credit? I have.... I've been drinking Schlafly brews ever since I moved back to VA from Texas when I bought and fell in love with their Pumpkin ale.... It's in my top 3 for the style!

But this post is about Schlafly's Tasmanian IPA. An Imperial Pale Ale hopped with Australian sourced hops only. 7.2% ABV.

The beer pours bright pale straw that is tinged gold in good light. About half an inch head that went away pretty quick... But the foam is leaving its mark on my glass. This stuff smells great for being almost 4 months old (yes I like my IPAs super fresh). BIG grapefruit, luscious and full.

This beer tastes amazing! The flavor goes right in to that mega grapefruit kick from the hops.... Just slightly bitter but mostly just big citrus! Yum!! Then you get the malt skeleton of the thing and it just keeps staying great.

The body on this beer is pretty thick and syrupy, which I'm calling a good thing! It coats your palette and doesn't let you forget that your drinking a really well made beer!!

I'm going to come right out and say this but this beer, while not the same, is definitely living in the same house with Heady.....

I think this beer is gone for the season but their American Style IPA is out now and is also great... But that's another review!

4.3 (only cause its not super fresh) out of 5!

Cheers!
