Arrogant Bastard
12/9/04 I'm at the County Cork with Portland Taiko.
I've got myself a pint of Arrogant Bastard on tap, brewed by Stone Brewing Co. They really are arrogant, but that has little to do with the beer.
There is a very strong hop nose, yet this beer is very smooth, even with all the hops. The finish is where the hops come through and is a little bitter a the very end, but it does not detract much from the beer.
This beer is much smoother than you would expect from a beer with so much hops. The malt is perfectly balanced, slightly sweet through the middle.
Overall this beer is very well balanced, nice and complex, repeat drinkability is high.
WDTB? Arrogant Bastards*
WSDTB? People who like beer. Seriously, drink this beer.
9.3/10
*No, really this is rather unfortunate. A friend of mine just stated that he had never ordered this beer because he was afraid of being thought of as an arrogant bastard. But I guess if you let what other people think of you control your drinking habits you get what you deserve. Are you listening PBR drinkers?

Is that good or bad? And it was my beer? From my house? I was curious what happened to that beer, I was going to review it. Unless of course you were refering to the arrogant bastard, which isn't actually mine. Unless I buy it. In which case I am unlikely to release it from my possesion. So Tom, what were you before you drank an arrogant bastard?
