TMOH - Beer Review 602#: SKA Decadent Imperial IPA

[dmbsong41]

I live between bells brewery and three floyds brewery. It's good in south bend Indiana. Ha

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@dmbsong41 Haha that is awesome! I have sent you a message on the subject. I would love to try some Three Floyds beer too, I have a couple and they make great stuff, I hear a lot of good things about their Zombie Dust. Cheers!

[dmbsong41]

[dmbsong41]

[Beerisgoodgodisbad]

How much did you pay for this?

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@Beerisgoodgodisbad 5$ I think. Cheers!

[tacklemcclean]

Peter!

Let me second the other comments - SKA has a pretty nice IPA that we had on bottle in Sweden. I guess you should find it canned over there. Try it out

Also, since you're studying English let me correct your pronunciation:

Usually you don't say decadent as in "decay" (which you say), but more like de-ca-dent with equal emphasis on the syllables. So the "deca" part is like Mecca, where Muslims pray towards you know.

Cheers!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@tacklemcclean Yup its their Modus Hoperandi, I will review it for sure. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers!

[triballus]

What? Never heard about Ska brewing before? *sigh* I haven't been talking enough about them then.. Don't worry Peter, my bad.. ;-)

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@triballus Lol xP

[StumpyJoeJr]

Most Colorado IPAs aren't very bitter but I've only had Modus Hoperandi from them and that was a hop forward beer. Great Divide's IPAs are rather malty.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@StumpyJoeJr Yeah this was pretty tasty. Yup I agree. Cheers!

[drastmannen]

I had this for about a year ago. Unfortunately it was not that fresh and all I got was the sweet malts and good amount of booze. Would like to try it fresh though!

Good to see that you've started reviewing again! Cheers!!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@drastmannen Oh that sucked. This was fresh and tasty :-D Cheers!

[90norseman]

This was actually available in Sweden along with their 'Ten Pin' Imperial Porter. Their iPA 'Modus Hoperandi' were bottled just for the Swedish market as well. The regular canned edition ended up here in Norway also. I only got to test the regular iPA, and I seem to remember it as being quite a tasty brew.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@90norseman Nice! I will probably review the Ten Pin and Modus Hoperandi soon. Cheers!

[bigpapykane]

Hey Peter, the only fresh items they have at walgreens are condoms!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@bigpapykane Haha, good one xD

[silentbooger]

Dekadente :) Haven't had this one, but Modus Hoperandi is great!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@silentbooger Yeah its quite tasty, I will review that one soon. Cheers!

[HighlandBerserkr]

SOunds great, definitely my favorite style. YUM!

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@HighlandBerserkr It was pretty good. Cheers!

[squinn114]

Was going to suggest Modus, as well.

I had Decadent on tap at a local place a while back and wasn't too crazy about it. Definitely a solid beer, but I found it a little too sweet for my tastes.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@squinn114 Yeah I liked it, not the best IPA, but it was pretty tasty. Cheers!

[Tantrum777]

Yeah The Modus Hoperandi is another good one.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@Tantrum777 Yup I had it not too long ago. Cheers!

[Cyraxthe666]

review a light beer with your roommates haha

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@Cyraxthe666 Maybe xP

[glitch777]

how's it going with the roommates?

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@glitch777 Fine, one of them really liked Arrogant Bastard. Cheers!

[cameforthevids]

I love Ska brewery. Haven't tried the Decadent IPA we had it for awhile were I work but I never tried it. I'll have to try it next time I come across it.

[TheMasterOfHoppets]

@cameforthevids This was pretty nice. I will review more of their beers in the future. Cheers!
