No, Pompous Ass isn’t one of the bands that plays at Orlando Brewing but the brewery’s newest beer. Pompous Ass is a highly hopped ale with about three times (if I’m remembering the conversation I had with John there a few weeks ago correctly) the hops of their IPA.
I had a sample of this last night straight from the fermenter (it was conditioning) and it was damn good. Very hoppy but very drinkable. I was having too much fun drinking that and a few others that I forgot to ask what the IBUs were, but to me it seemed similar to a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.
This newest beer will be on tap starting on Valentine’s day so avoid the lameness of taking your sweetheart to an overpriced dinner at a crowded restaurant and stop by the brewery for some Pompous Ass.
Sounds like a rip-off of Stone’s Arrogant Bastard in name and formula… Doesn’t mean it isn’t tasty, tho
