KCBC All Together
New England IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete This is my first of this series, which is a worldwide collaboration to help support hospitality workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns. Not just a good cause, but an unreal beer. Citrus bomb with a light body that somehow still leaves you with a creamy aftertaste. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

KCBC Dangerous Precedent
New England IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete Big time juice bomb with a ton of haze/creaminess to it. Lots of different citrus flavors going on, and the flavor is pretty amped up, more so than you'd expect for a single IPA. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Friends & Anemones
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Collaboration with Vitamin Sea. Smells like a juicy bomb. Citrus is definitely there, though it's more zesty than it is fruity. Super drinkable too. Dangerously delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Indiana Bones Raiders of the Lost Bark
New England IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Lots of fruit with peach up front and a tiny bit of bitterness in the finish. The bitterness gives it a little extra depth, which is quite nice. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Jingle Zombie Apocalypse
Sour - 6% ABV Pete This was a crowd favorite at the bar. It's basically a fruit beer with a tiny bit of sourness. So much raspberry. I'm not complaining. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Light The Lightning
Imperial Stout - 9% ABV Pete Intense dark chocolate and coffee flavors. It's definitely not a light beer, but it's not terribly heavy either. It's delicious going down, and leaves an aftertaste of chocolate that really needed to be just a touch sweeter. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Marble of Doom II
Sour - 5% ABV Pete Really good raspberry flavor. It's tart as if you're eating raspberries. It has a hint of a medicinal flavor, which brings it down a bit, but it's still a great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Marble of Doom IV
Sour - 5.5% ABV Pete A little fruity and a tiny hint of salt. It's really not sour at all, which I was hoping for. More of a mellow fruit beer. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Noodle Ninjas
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Collaboration with Dancing Gnome. Anytime you drink a beer and think "that tastes like Tree House", that's a very good sign. This one tastes particularly somewhere in between Julius and King Julius. Need to get me some more KCBC. Sweet can too. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Reservoir Frogs
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Super juicy and tropical going down, with a hint of dryness in the finish, probably from the rye. I was on the fence between a 5 and a 6 here, but the sweet can puts it over the top. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Robot Fish #4
New England IPA - 6.1% ABV Pete This is a special beer for Ginger Man in Manhattan. Super creamy and citrusy, with peach prevailing as the dominant flavor. Excellent. Probably the best single bar-special beer I've ever had. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Robot Fish: Mosaic Smash
New England IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete Earthy and creamy with a tiny bit of peppery-ness in the finish. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Robot Fish: Simcoe Smash
New England IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete Super drinkable and citrusy with lemon at the front. There's a hint of dank in the finish too. Excellent beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Rye Barrel Aged Creature From The Deep
Imperial Milk Stout - 11% ABV Pete Lots of rye with some rich chocolate. Tastes like a cocktail - very boozy. I'm quite OK with that. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Superhero Sidekicks
New England IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete Taste and texture is overripe melon. I love that. My friends at the bar did not. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC This is Your Brain on Hops: Mosaic + Nelson
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete I honestly didn't get much citrus/fruit flavor from this, like it's described. Mostly just bitterness and a little sweet/boozy. Much better with food than during food prep. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC This is Your Brain on Hops: Mosaic + Simcoe
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete Resinous with sweet citrus, mainly pineapple for me. It's right on the edge of too sweet for an IPA, but I like it a lot. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Viking Hula
New England IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Collaboration with Green Point (haven't had any of those as of 5/7/20). Excellent beer. Super tropical, lots of citrus, and maybe even a hint of coconut in there to really drive home the tropical sense. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC What We Don't See
Imperial Stout - 9% ABV Pete Ultra dark, but not incredibly rich. Molasses and coffee dominate, and some charred flavors in there too. On the bitter side for a stout. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
KCBC Yacht Zombie Apocalypse
Sour - 6% ABV Pete Absolutely love this. Tons of fruitiness, but only a little sweet, with some tartness in the finish to balance it. Toeing the line between fruit beer and a sour. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
