Famous for its bitter hipster IPAs, Karbach Brewing Company attempts something slightly different with this beer, a wheat and barley based adjunct beer that like Modelo Especial, delivers a thin but pleasant taste, although in this case, without undo sweetness, fermentation artifacts, or bitterness.

We try to review only the relevant around here and dismiss the bad with short reviews, but this may be the worst beer I have ever tasted. Short review: bitter IPA with pineapple and soap flavors and undertones of perfume that makes this more vomitous than the cheapest Pabst clone.

Upon first taste, 1980s Michelob; middle-taste is a little bit sweeter; finishing taste has more citrus and a fizzy, spicy lingering hybrid of aroma and flavor. This beer goes down easy because nothing in its taste profile conflicts with the rest of its flavor edifice.

If you want a gentle introduction to the Cambridge Five spy scandal which effectively gutted the upper classes of Britain and savaged the faith of its ordinary citizens in the Establishment, consider The Real Spies Among Friends, a documentary of psychology as much as spycraft.

Presenting the richer side of IPAs, this double IPA has a slightly burnt flavor and intense bitterness but ultimately goes too far into an unbalanced sourness, missing that sweet spot where IPAs still taste like beer just without the soda pop and rotting squash flavors normal to American beer.

If you like the regular “Hopadillo,” a beer with a stupid name but maximum flavor, you may appreciate the Imperial IPA, which is a drier version of the regular Hopadillo with intense levels of alcohol that may have you punching out windshields like a Florida Man.

Despite the hipstery iconography, everyone wants to love this beer… but it is an IPA with a sweet aftertaste, like banging a Sprite after having a nice austere IPA. For this reason, it drops out of the running among the indie microbrew offerings for alcoholism in Texas.

While the review queue winds on like the river of microplastics and C. diff diarrhea that it is, it makes sense to revisit some favorite beers, like this austere IPA which delivers a bit of a punch but mostly a beer experience that is more like drinking wine.

Ignoring the vandalistic “art,” the stupid name, and the goofy promises written on the can, the Art Car IPA provides a fruity yet ascetic high-powered India Pale Ale that does not degrade with warmth like most fruity beers. It has its own self-possessed flavor.

Conforming to the new norm in American beers of higher ABV, this beer tastes like a malty American adjunct beer with too much sweetness and an aftertaste of that yeasty, boiled squash flavor that comes from fermenting grains, but on the whole, beats most of the alternatives.
