Had the Shipyard XXXX IPA last night. Tasted more like a barley wine than an IPA which makes sense since it's nearly 10% ABV and uses Caramel malts. The primary hops were cascade which I typically like, but they were light enough that they couldn't compete with the malt. Overall it was just OK IMO. I might have liked it more if I hadn't expected a much hoppier experience.
Anyone tried any others from the "Pugsley Signature Series" Shipyard puts out?
