I know it’s not a good look for a bro to have these days, but sometimes I feel I’m
kinda IPA’d out.
Not beered out- let’s make that distinction…
What I mean is have 3-4 I regularly drink- but IPAs are the new yellow beers- meaning
it’s half of the beers they sell at Walmart and I’ve even done a keg stand with one.
They’re like buttholes every opinion has one.
Or I mean IPAs are like buttholes, everyone drinks from one.
Or chugs a beer from one.
I hope I got that right.
So to sort out the mix, I took subscriber and Instagrammer Troy Wheatley’s suggestion-
also Clayton shuff’s who said Space Dust from Elysian is awesome, it’s their favorite
and they’d give me a $1000 if it didn’t also become my instant favorite.
Space Dust is an American imperial IPA, not to be confused with cosmic dust from space,
or angel dust from Miami Vice.
The bottle liner notes are as such- the hopping is pure star glow energy, with chinook to
bitter and late dry addition of Citra and Amarillo, to get you high.
Whatever the hell any of that means.
Can ya drink it???
Imperial IPAs are denoted by their high alcohol content like this one at 8.2%- sometimes people
call them double ipas or just a beer.
Please don’t mind me I’m a trained professional.
My sword safety certification came with the Youtube channel.
Can you believe I’ve only had stitches twice in my life.
Once when I was trying to take a knife away from my brother blade first- I was 6 or thereabouts…
and the other when I worked at a grocery store- in the finger with a box knife.
Remember blade inward facing toward the bracing opposite hand, and if you feel resistance
from the packaging give it more force.
The pour.
The pour is starts out awkward.
Oh wait oh no.
Oh god what have I done.
Nevemind…
I got it.
There’s a nice honey color.
It also looks cream soda for viewers who don’t drink beer, but still dabble in cruddy youtube
videos.
After the foam eventually settles, it’s opaque and there are no floaters, the technical
term for yeasty bits or that sediment in some bottle conditioned beers.
I don’t know why these videos aren’t more popular- are they supposed to make you want
to drink the beer?
Or should it serve as cautionary tale.
A prohibition era moralists footnote on society ill.
Yeah those people still exist- even on youtube lurking among the racists.
Sorry comfortably cohabiting.
You sir get a thumbs down for that.
Ok I apologize for the Melville tangent.
YEAH STUPID HERMAN MELVILLE.
Maybe the perfect beer is my white whale.
Ok it’s time for what’s that smell.
The smell is mostly watery, with a dash of honey here or there, not everywhere though-
there be malts- we’re not getting a super strong hop smell.
It almost has a yellow beer smell and the perception is that it might not have a strong
taste.
Ahh….
Easy to get drunk to.
Alright let’s put it were the skittles go.
The taste is good.
It’s a high gravity beer but the strong alcohol taste isn’t at the forefront- so
you might not realize you’re getting drunk.
Although that seems to happen to a lot of people.
I’m fine I’ve just had only a coupla.
I get a strong hops taste, not you but me, because I’m not sharing.
A dash of citrus up the back end…
I think I’m running out of descriptors for amounts.
There might be hint of malty sweetness, but that could also be the stump particles.
It reminds me a lot of a Mellower New Belgium ranger, stronger but sorta mellower.
Mouthfeel is slightly carbonated…
when you do a pour like the one I did most of the carbonation has been tamed, with some
lightly pubish prickles on the tounge.
It’s is an easy drinking IPA.
As in, it’ll easily get you drunk.
I would be lying if most beers these days weren’t easy drinking though.
It’s still definitely hoppy and piny, however it’s the taste doesn’t scream high gravity,
so in theory it could be guzzled.
Remember beer is best enjoyed without moderation.
I like it just fine- not my favorite beer ever, but a very nice IPA when they don’t
have my regular shit at the gas station.
Although if I want a few I’d go with a 4 per 5 per center.
I guess they don’t owe me 1000.

Are thumbs up, thumbs down, like buttons and emitcons the ultimate v signaling?
Don't discuss.
