Tiger Refuge 6,802 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Got dat Jucee from Flying Tiger. Good stuff! ETA- I posted in a bit of a hurry yesterday. It’s definitley citrusy. Grapefruit on the nose. Citrus rind/zest bite. Definitely opened up as the temp came up. Needs maybe a week or two.

Long story short, I grabbed up a 6er of Orpheus Transmigration of Souls DIPA(10%). It’s a lot fresher than the one I had sent to me some years ago. That said, it’s better than I remember(freshness presumably). However, there’s something on the finish I just can’t wrap my palate around. It’s bubblegum-y, so I’m assuming it’s whatever yeast they’re using. Definitely not infected. Was totally unaware that it was 10%, so the 3 DDH Bearded Iris Double Scatterbrains(8%) are now starting to creep up on me. Mama SMB will be home soon. Maintain...maintain... Orpheus is an interesting brewery. Jason doesn't seem concerned at all with style guidelines, but he also doesn't do weird just for the sake of being weird. I'm not huge on his IPAs but I check back every now and then as my tastebuds evolve. Their tart fruit beers are great in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hands down one of the best Bearded Iris IPAs I’ve had. Phenomenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was back in my wife’s hometown this past weekend and found it at a nice little grocery store that has a great beer selection, in spite of what I would assume is a bad craft beer market.

Tiger Refuge 6,802 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 My first go-round with this one from Great Raft. After a sweaty late afternoon of yard work, it was freaking delicious. Sour. Lime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With nearly the entire leadership team from BPB gone, I can certainly see why there’s been problems. When it launched in Memphis a couple years ago, it sold like gangbusters. Now we barely move any. I don’t think the entire state even has a BPB rep anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dude on the ATL beer subreddit said that all taprooms should have at least 3 NEIPAs to choose from. Da fuq???? By the way, Refuge, the crawfish etouffee-stuffed chicken from Best Stop is absolutely mind-blowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
