Beer of the Week

The beer: Triple Dog Triple IPA

Brewed by: Flying Dog Brewery, Frederick, Maryland

Description (from the website): "At a whopping 18% ABV, Triple Dog is Flying Dog’s highest-octane brew. Citrus and resinous hop notes dominate the aroma and flavor profile which ends with a touch of alcohol sweetness and a dry finish."

Would I buy it again?: This is one of those beers that is technically a beer, but practically it's kind of not. This beer has an ABV of 18.6%, making it about three times more alcoholic than a regular beer, and you can't get away from that. There is a strong taste of alcohol when you drink this beer. It barely tastes like a beer, and it especially doesn't taste like an IPA. I would buy this beer again, but as an occasional indulgence. Since it's so strong, you have to be careful with it, otherwise that alcohol will sneak up on you. Plus, it's $20 for a four pack, which is quite a lot of money.
