Toppling Goliath Baxter
Imperial IPA - 8.8% ABV Pete Billed as a hazy IPA, you can tell from the photo that it's not actually super hazy. Definitely get the creaminess I expect from a hazy IPA though, along with a touch of bitterness. I didn't get much else in the flavor though. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Double Dry Hop Psuedo Sue
Pale Ale - 6.8% ABV Pete I didn't notice much difference from the original. It's an incredible beer, much like that one, yet I was still disappointed because I didn't think it lived up to its rating on untappd (4.4 vs. 4.18 for the original). I literally saw this on the menu at a bar and forced everyone with me to go. It's an awesome beer, but don't do that. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Dragon Fandango
Fruited Sour - 4.2% ABV Pete This beer wants to just be a soda. Goes down with a good amount of sour and high carbonation, with a touch of saltiness, but finishes ultra fruity. It's quite good, but I wouldn't want more than 1 (at least not in a row). Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Fire, Skulls, & Money
New England IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Smells like heaven. Piney and peachy flavor. Really excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Gamma, Gamma Ray!
American IPA - 8.1% ABV Pete Collaboration with Bottle Logic (haven't had any of those as of 1/16/19). It's quite hazy, giving it a creamy feel, and a decent amount of citrus flavor. It's quite easy to drink, which is dangerous at this ABV, but what can you do. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Golden Nugget
American IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Incredible super citrusy IPA with bitterness to balance, not to overwhelm (it's only noticeable if you really think about it). Mango is the dominant flavor for me. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Hopsmack! Double IPA
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Pretty creamy texture, with a touch of bitterness and a lot of citrus. I couldn't pinpoint any specific fruits, as I had been to a beer festival before drinking this, but it was quite good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Imperial Golden Nugget
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete I had this immediately after Mornin' Delight, so I was expecting something not quite as good. I was very wrong. Smells like a citrus bomb, and the taste lives up to the smell, along with a little creaminess going down. I taste mango, orange, and maybe some guava in there also. Amazingly good. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath King Sue
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Delicious. Creamy and ultra-citrusy. I didn't notice much bitterness, which is impressive at 100 IBU. Just an amazing beer with a boat-load of flavor. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Mornin' Delight
Imperial Stout - 12% ABV Pete One of the highest rated beers in the world, and for good reason. Smells like maple syrup and coffee. Definitely fairly sweet, with subtle coffee flavors and a ton of chocolate. When you put it down, it leaves that feeling in your mouth like you just ate a chocolate bar. Doesn't come cheap, but man is it worth it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Mornin' Latte Imperial Coffee Milk Stout
Imperial Milk Stout - 8.9% ABV Pete After Mornin' Delight, I had incredibly high hopes for this. Sadly, it did not live up. It's outrageously sweet, to the point that it's hard to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath MoZee
IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete This is a version of Zeelander w/Mosaic hops, hence the name. Incredible beer. Smells of overripe melon, and tastes of passion fruit with maybe a touch of mango. Not bitter, very delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Naughty 90 Oaked Ale
English IPA - 8% ABV Pete Not at all what I was expecting or how it is described. It smells and tastes like coffee. I wasn't ready for that, but it sure is delicious. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Pompeii
IPA - 6.2% ABV Pete Very good beer. Fruity/citrusy with a tiny hint of bitter. Was just slightly disappointed based on the other beers I've had from TG, but I would still get this again in a heartbeat. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Psuedo Sue
Pale Ale - 6.8% ABV Pete Smells like heaven, and tastes like it smells. A huge punch of citrus up front, and a touch of bitter if you really search for it. Awesome. Couldn't find any evidence that this was a tech joke of a name (sudo su), but I sure felt like I could do anything after drinking this, and I didn't even need a password to drink it (probably 1/500 people will get that joke, but I don't care). Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Scorpius Morchella (2018)
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Smells absolutely amazing. Tastes almost as good, fruitiness and a little peppery, super easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Sosus
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete About as good as an IPA gets. Soft, creamy mouthfeel with a little bit of bitterness that's well hidden behind subtle tropical fruit flavors. Apparently mosaic hops are good. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Supa' Sumo
Imperial IPA - 7.8% ABV Pete Smells super super fruity. Starts that way definitely get some pineapple notes, then you get a medium piney bitterness (hard to hide 100 IBUs), and finishes fruity again. Awesome. A little expensive, but worth it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Toppling Goliath Thresher
Wheat IPA - 5.2% ABV Pete Tasty IPA with some creaminess and a good amount of citrus. Incredibly easy to drink. I was fortunate enough to have this after Mornin' Delight and Imperial Golden Nugget (pretty solid night). It didn't have nearly as much flavor as those, but few beers do. You might be more impressed if you haven't just had those 2. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Toppling Goliath Twisted Galaxy
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Incredible IPA. Smells like guava, and you get that in the flavor too along with some dry earthiness. Finishes dry with a very tiny hint of bitter. Heavenly. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
