About Spiteful

Pffftt Midwest beer
Spiteful Brewing was founded in January 2010 by Brad Shaffer and Jason Klein. Like many brewers, the duo started out homebrewing. As of today, the brewery houses a 2.5 BBL Brewhouse and 5 BBL Fermenters. Currently, as a nanobrewery, Spiteful Brewing is hand delivering to stores and bars. For more info, check out Spiteful's website, or their Facebook or Twitter
Another Midwest IPA, another fantastic beer from one of the now dozens of Chicago breweries making beer. 

This is hazy and unfiltered and a shade too dark, but look at those foam caps. 

This has vibrant candy hop aromas, with guava, intense resin, grapefruit and citrus, and some subtle and more complex hints of white pepper, tropical fruit, and caramel malts.

Spiteful has yet to let me down, and this is stellar with resin, orange, guava, agave, and a shitload of raw mango. Pine.

Carb is spot on, with a medium-bodied mouthfeel that has good complexity and good palate depth. This is dry and finishes clean; this won't give you the beetus. This has the PERFECT balance between not-too-sweet but sweet enough hops. Unlike Finch's...

Rating: Above-Average (4.5/5.0 Untappd)

This is an easy Strong Above-Average. This is up there with some of Pipeworks' better Imperial IPAs, and this is the beer we need to bridge the gap between our Half Acre Senita. 

Random Thought: dae short reviews
