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. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

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. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

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). Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Backlash Grit
Pale Wheat Ale - 5% ABV Pete Pretty mild beer with a little fruitiness to it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

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. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Backlash Hostile Takeover
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Good IPA. Hoppy going down, but a little too bitter for me to really enjoy the finish. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Backlash King Cozy
Imperial Stout - 9% ABV Pete Solid stout with a decent amount of bitterness. I didn't really notice the vanilla. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

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. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
