Bottle text & Info:
Titan is a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed for hop disciples. It starts out with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishes with a nice rich, malty sweetness that is balanced with crisp hop bitterness.


Tasting Notes:
Pours a glowing amber with a quarter inch head. Smells earth with some serious pine and sweet malt. Grapefruit and pine jump off the front followed by caramel like malt backing. Creamy, creamy mouthfeel with some hop resin bitterness cut nicely by the sweetness. This one is kindred spirits with Green Flash West Coast. An extremely enjoyable and solid IPA made for people who drink IPA's. No training wheels here, although at a little over $11 a six - this one's priced just outside of being your stock IPA.

  1. it didnt really have that sweet note i was expecting (ala the stepped up hoppy two hearted). I would drink this again but the sticker price might get in the way especially when the torpedo is only 8.99

  2. I like that it's unique, I got some syrup and a nice hop profile, with that little hint of bile, great addition.
