Beer Blog 86 (Great Divide: Titan IPA)

Company description:
Great Divide brews Titan IPA for hop disciples -- independent beer drinkers seeking out robust, flavorful beers characterized by their abundance of hops, flavor, aroma and bitterness. As a big aggressively-hopped India Pale Ale, Titan IPA fills this bill -- beginning with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishing with a rich, malty sweetness that is carefully balanced with crisp hop bitterness. 65 International Bittering Units (IBUs).
2003-2009 vintages 6.8% abv
2010 vintage 7.1% abv

if i comment-as i have done in the past-that sometimes i feel that your vlogs are a little long...i should commend you when you do a nice review with proper time management!

i'm not sure if it is right of you to put the "charman" up on your vlog.i hope he gave you his permission!

@qchome That's my brother in the background.

My videos tend to be longer than 5 minutes because I shoot it straight from the time of introducing the beer, talking about what it is, where it's from and then figure out as many tasting notes possible in that short time. Not as easy as it sounds unless you're a much more experienced beer aficionado.

I had this one time and it was really bad, I think i got a bad bottle. I do really like some of the stuff they make, just picked up Chocolate Yeti!

@Tantrum777 Actually I don't know if they hold up well. Because their double IPA wasn't all that. It reminds me of when I had BrewDog's double IPA and it was just bad. I think some IPAs have to be kept fresh and drunk soon.

Just finished watching Greg at gregsbeerreviews do this beer. You both come to essentially the same conclusion. I wish I could get Great Divide here. Good quick review.

[BeerichiTuba]

@KeithsBeerReviews Oh ya?  Cool. I guess we have similar taste then. Where do you live that you can't get Great Divide?

[KeithsBeerReviews]

@BeerichiTuba

Iowa, there are a lot of breweries we can't get here, including most of the West Coast breweries, except Sierra Nevada. They're everywhere.

Hey winton! I love IPAs and I was just watching your Lagunitas IPA review. You mentioned that you brewed your own beer. I'm really interested in brewing myself. Would you mind making some videos of your brewing process? Thanks!

@jjrudy41 Ya, same for me. I wouldn't get it again, but it isn't bad at all. Too sweet for me.

I heard Great Divide is moving to a different state so lot of places won't be getting them, including Michigan. Which means Daniel Endosympiosis won't be getting anymore.

Thanks for watching man!

@ChadzBeerReviews Yes, it was a quicky :)

Ya, with Stone's distribution it only stays in southern California. But I'm finding some beer stores in my area that found a way to sneak them in, so I can get Oak Aged Yeti now :)!
