Backlash 10 Hour Nightmare
Imperial Stout - 9.2% ABV
Pete
     I didn't get much vanilla, but it's a super roasty stout with a hint of bitterness. Really good.

Backlash Bad Decision Juice
IPA - 4.7% ABV
Pete
     Really delicious IPA. Smells extremely citrusy. Finishes a bit dry, which makes you keep coming back for more. Low alcohol + easy to drink = great day drinking beer. I'm not sure I get the name based on the low alcohol though.

Backlash Basilisk
Saison - 5% ABV
Pete
     This is a saison brewed with basil. The basil flavor is very strong. I like it, it's unique, but I probably couldn't drink a lot of this.

Backlash Central Square
IPA - 7% ABV
Pete
     This beer is wayyyy better than the area it's named after. Super light-bodied IPA with a ton of citrus flavor. Really incredible beer. I'm not sure you can get Backlash outside of the Boston area (yet - 12/2017), but I'm sure you will soon enough.

Backlash Conquest
White IPA - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     This is a perfect mix of a Belgian Witbier and an IPA. It hits you up front with the orange and coriander flavors that you expect from a wit, then backs it up with a citrusy hop finish. Plus the label is awesome. The only thing keeping this from attaining legendary status is the price (I paid $9 for a 22oz bottle).

     Pretty mild beer with a little fruitiness to it.

Backlash Groundswell
Blonde Ale - 6.4% ABV
Pete
     This is a great beer. It is light and refreshing. I thought it tasted quite a bit like a witbier, and apparently I was right, as it is brewed with coriander, which really gives it a lot of flavor that you would get from a white. That, plus its high alcohol, make it worth buying, even at the slightly higher cost.

Backlash Hostile Takeover
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV

     Good IPA. Hoppy going down, but a little too bitter for me to really enjoy the finish.

     Solid stout with a decent amount of bitterness. I didn't really notice the vanilla.

Backlash Liquid Assets
IPA - 6.7% ABV
Pete
     Very good IPA. Some citrus flavor, a little piney flavor in the finish, and a mild-medium bitterness to it. Well rounded beer.

Backlash The Great Molasses Disaster
Imperial Stout - 8% ABV
Pete
     Definitely get roasty flavor and a little sweetness. It's so roasty that it's actually pretty bitter. I'd describe this as more of a black IPA than an imperial stout, but I love those, so that was a nice surprise. High quality glassware was used in the making of this review.
