Going to Extremes – Podcast
Posted By John on May 8th, 2009
Episode 139
We thought it would be fun to go to extremes this week. Bringing in Lucky beer from Australia and Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Double IPA. The contrast of a light lager and a double IPA seemed like a good idea and fun to try.
For music this week we went with a song that describes the luck we all sometimes have. We listened to Jonathan Coulton and his song Screwed. Life is good, but every once in a while this sums up the feeling. Next week we’ll listen to something more inspirational from Mr. Coulton.Thanks to the Podsafe Music Network for providing the tunes

Posted By John on May 8th, 2009
Beer: Torpedo Extra IPA
Brewery:Sierra Nevada in Chico, California
ABV: 7.2%
Reviewed:06-May-2009 on Episode 139
Appearance: Amber with dense white head.
Aroma: The hops aroma come through in the form of grapefruit, orange and floral aromas. There is also a slight sweet malt aroma underlying the hops.
Taste: A sweet malt flavor starts out the taste. Then the hops dominate the flavor. They produce tastes of grapefruit, orange, some floral tastes and a slight pine flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium light body with medium carbonation.
Aftertaste: There is a lingering taste of citrus in the finish.
Overall: A solid brew with a great variety of hop flavors.
Notes: Nice hoppy beer. We strongly recommend it with spicy foods and a warm day, but it’s nice by itself as well.
