We managed to get some Hopslam and poured it right down our throats!
Style: Double IPA
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Snifters
Notes: (From Site) Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit, and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey

Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.75/5
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Malty caramel with apricot, boozy. Mike got “sewage” or bad water” Taste: Better beers have come since this. Taste: Malt and caramel comes through as it did on the nose. There are hops for sure.
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.50/5 — We were thrown off by how much our tastes have changed given this was one of the craft beers that got us really loving it.
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Oak (obviously), maple which adds sweetness on top of bourbon. Taste: Smooth and balanced. Sweetness and mellow compared to the normal Arrogant
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.25/5
**BLEND** (Shaun’s favorite part!) 4/5!
You lose the oak and it kind of makes the regular Arrogant a little more smooth and tasty

This was the first video we recorded using the new setup. We’ve since released a few other videos before releasing this. The main reason was we wanted to get the Night Shift Morph reviews out while the current release was still on the shelf.
All of our old videos with the previous setup are in the wild now so please enjoy our new setup. We like it and hope you do as well!

HEADY TOPPER *MIC DROP*
Style: Double IPA
Container: 2 x 16oz Can
Glassware: Small tasters for look only then drank from the can
Notes: (From website) Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.
Rating: 5/5
