Yep, it is. An IPA brewed in Kentucky. I got my first taste this evening. I bought a six'er of this stuff for the first time tonight.
Initial impression: Cat piss
I'm not sure what hops they used for this, but I want to know. I want to know because I want to be sure I never use these hops like they did. This is terrible. This is exactly what I don't want my IPA's to taste like. This is cat piss.
After I settled down and allowed the initial impression to reside. I thought that a clean pallet would have me reconsider my initial impression. I drank some water, ate a bit of cheese, had a cracker. I was ready to try this again.
Cat piss. That is all I can smell or taste from this. Cat piss.
I'm sorry. I can't say anything nice about this beer. I breaks my heart too. I want a Kentucky born IPA to be good. But this beer fails. I make better IPA's without trying to make a great IPA. Why is it that this beer is being mass produced and it is so bad? Is it trends? I cannot say for sure. Because I don't know what hops they are using. But whatever the combination is, it sucks. It needs to stop and desist. Good beer does not taste like cat piss. And a good IPA does not taste like piss of a cat. Anyone that makes that connection has never had a good IPA. This beer is damaging the validity of the style by simply being available on the market. People that know nothing about IPA style beers will drink this and be forever turned against it. And I wouldn't blame them. It's awful.
As much as I support craft breweries. Somebody really needs to be taking charge of the decisions to make beers like this available to the public.
Who in the hell gave a green light to this? Seriously, somebody that knows nothing about beer accepted the opinion of someone else that knows nothing about beer to put this beer into production. Now honest people that make beer are going to lose their jobs because dumb-assess that don't know Budweiser from the piss-of-a-horse is telling them how to make an IPA.
It breaks my heart. It really does.
I had hoped the brewers at a local brewery would do better. Apparently, this is the best I can hope for from local breweries? It breaks my heart.
Once again, I'm so glad I can brew my own. This stuff available in stores is terrible.
Come on Kentucky breweries, you can do better.
