Here we have 'The Gauntlet'. An Imperial IPA by Iron Fist Brewing Company that packs a nice 9.5% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. At $12 a bottle, this beer will deliver the the state of mind, but does it deliver on the flavor?
I poured this beer into a large, clean, tulip glass and served it at 50 degrees. A nice, thick head was retained. The copper color and hop aroma were a prelude to the intense flavor in the first sip.
I enjoyed the entire beer, but I wouldn't go so far as to give it an A rating. I think Iron Fist Brewing Company does some good work and is off to a great start. There is a great deal of competition here in San Diego and that's good for all of us beer drinkers. I look forward to drinking Iron Fist's beers as they move into the future.
