I'm on the hunt for great beer. Some people like mass produced flavorless beers or as I call them don't offend anyone beers. Personally I don't! So I'm on the search for big flavors, interesting takes and overall just great beers. Here is an account of my search for beers that are special or different or anything in between.

HUB Ace of Spades IPA
This is my first beer from these guys and I really regret not getting to try any of there products on my trip to Oregon. I will not make that mistake again as this will be my 1st stop in September. Where do I start with this one? pours a nice opaque caramel colour, with a thin white head. It smells of pine and grapefruit right off the top. This beer is a beast with a 9.5% ABV & a 100+ IBU not for the week of taste. With it's high IBU you would think it would be a tongue twister but they balance out the hops with a super high malt background making this as easy to drink as any Imperial IPA going. It does pack a bit of a hefty price tag of close to $20 but I will put this into my rotation if it's still available.
