River Styx Brewing

Fitchburg, MA

Picture
River Styx Anteros
Sour - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     Pretty good sour. Obvious raspberry flavor, but it's a little on the mellow side (almost a watered down flavor) especially given the color. Still, I'd get it again.

River Styx Athena #3 PBB 2020
Sour - 5% ABV
Pete
     Tiny bit sour and somewhat fruity. It's pretty mild, but tasty.

River Styx Citra Cerberus
Imperial/Triple IPA - 10% ABV
Pete
     Tons of citrus, as you might expect from the extra citra hops, and a decent amount of peppery-ness to balance it, not to mention hide the sweetness from a beer this strong. Definitely doesn't taste nearly as boozy as it really is. Excellent beer.

River Styx DDH Fall of Icarus
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Smell is pure citrus, and the flavor starts that way before morphing into mild bitterness and a huge burst of pine/peppery. Super flavorful and a roller coaster ride. Awesome.

River Styx Eros
Imperial Stout - 11% ABV
Pete
     Smells like marshmallow. Solid beer, but really sweet. This is like a quadruple-stuffed Oreo when double-stuffed would have been just fine.

River Styx Galaxy of Astraios
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     This beer is dominated by a super dry grapefruit flavor, which I love. It's a bit hard to drink fast due to that quality, but you don't really need to drink this much alcohol fast. Delicious.

River Styx Icarus Rises
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     It's got a lot of carbonation. Combine that with the dry flavor, and you've got almost a champagne-y feel to this one. Really good.

River Styx Morpheus: Hawaiian POG
Sour - 5.2% ABV
Pete
     Pretty fruity and a little sour. I'd like it to be a little more sour to avoid it leaning towards just being a fruit beer, but it's hard to argue with the passion orange guava flavors. Delicious.

River Styx Morpheus: Sour Patch Watermelon Tart
Sour - 5% ABV
Pete
     Pretty watermelon-y, not super sour though. A little creaminess in the texture. Definitely a beer you want to drink while it's cold, and drink fast.

River Styx Nectar of Aristaeus
IPA - 6% ABV
Pete
     This is a very popular beer for most, but I'm not convinced. Definitely tastes like strawberry, but it's more toward the fruit beer realm than an IPA, and it's a little high on the lactose, making it a bit too creamy for what it is.

River Styx Nectar of Aristaeus - Imperial Blueberry Glazed Donut
Imperial Milkshake IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     The blueberry is nice, tartness is solid, but the vanilla is a little bit much.

River Styx OJ Hercules
New England IPA - 6.5% ABV
Pete
     Definitely super orange juice-y. A little peppery bite in the finish too takes it over the top.

River Styx Orion
Sour - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     Way thicker than it looks in the picture. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn't work for me. The coconut/marshmallow combo is a little much.

River Styx Proteus XVIII
Sour - 5% ABV
Pete
     Smells ultra cinnamon-y. The flavor is a nice balance of pineapple and cinnamon. I was hoping for a little more grilled flavor based on the fact that it's made with grilled pineapple, but it's still a great beer without it.

River Styx The Winds of Boreas
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Super tasty. Really creamy, plenty of citrus. It has a bit of a weird aftertaste, otherwise it'd be rated even higher, but still well worth it.

River Styx Triple Galaxy
Imperial New England IPA - 10% ABV
Pete
     Smells like pure juice. The flavor has plenty of that, along with some grassy notes in there. I typically don't like IPA's this strong, but this is a winner.

River Styx Triton Son of the Seas
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Smells of melon and a hint of very overripe stone fruit. Flavor is much more of a citrus blast with a noticeable, yet mellow, bitterness. Great beer.

River Styx Typhon Father of All Monsters
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     Amazing. It's creamy going down and packed with tropical fruit flavors. No noticeable bitterness. Dangerous beer with that ABV.

River Styx Venom of Cerberus
​Imperial New England IPA - 10% ABV
Pete
     A tiny bit sweet and just a gigantic amount of juicy flavor. Awesome. Also, cool name and can.
