Pipeworks Crimson Snapper
Imperial IPA - 9.5% ABV
Pete
     Solid imperial IPA. A little malty and pretty bitter, but not overwhelming. A little extra booze just in case.

Pipeworks Infinite Citra
IPA - 7.3% ABV
Pete
     When I read 'infinite citra', I obviously assumed this would be a hop-forward IPA. Unfortunately, the flavor matched the color more than the name. It's a good beer, but it's on the malty side with a touch of bitterness. There's citrus, but it's muted.

Pipeworks Lizard King
Pale Ale - 6% ABV
Pete
     Tropical fruit flavors dominate, though they are fairly subtle, making this extremely crushable. Super crisp too. I feel bad drinking this fast, but it is sure hard to put down.

Pipeworks Mango Guppy
Session IPA - 4.6% ABV
Pete
     There's definitely some mango flavor and some hints of pine. Pretty easy to drink, but just not a ton of flavor. I'd drink it again.

Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Pretty bitter with some citrus flavor. Both the bitterness and the citrus linger a bit after putting it down. Also super drinkable, almost light despite being 8%. Stands up to a lot of flavors, so it's great with dinner.

Pipeworks Passion Fruit Guppy
Session IPA - 4.6% ABV
Pete
     Smells aggressively of passion fruit and tastes like it to a smaller degree. Super light, fruity beer. I don't know if I'd count this as an IPA, but it's very drinkable.

Pipeworks Sweetheart Waffle Mountain
Stout - 9% ABV
Pete
     Drinkable and 9%, but it's just too sweet. I don't say that often.

Pipeworks Unicorn Space Base
New England IPA - 7% ABV
Pete
     Solid beer, but it's a bit too melon-y for me. Usually I like melon beers more than most people, so that should tell you something.
