Gimmie a “Hell Yeah!” As soon as I heard one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin, had teamed up with El Segundo Brewing Company to make his own beer I knew I had to try it. The most surprising, WHAT? I said the most surprising part is that they teamed up to make an IPA. ‘Broken Skull’ is characterized as a West Coast IPA and while I have been pretty indifferent towards this style recently, ‘Broken Skull’ is making me change my mind.
‘Broken Skull’ pours into the glass a cloudy, but not hazy, light yellow with a white head and has subtle and soft piney notes. The flavor is fantastic, it has a classic West Coast IPA taste with an interesting twist. While it has the classic big hop taste that gives way to a long and lingering malty finish, the twist comes from the hops. Citra gives it that initial hoppy bite with Cascade and Chinook combining for a sweet and crispness right before that malty finish. Coming in at 6.7% ABV it is the perfect balance of boozy and crushable. This beer is awesome, and that’s the bottom line!
