I thought I had reviewed the Fish Tale pale ale or at least the IPA but I couldn't find it in my lengthy history. I drink Fish beer on a semi-regular basis, as their beer is quite good, so once I saw this limited release 22oz I had to give it a whirl. Ten-Squared refers to the fact that this beer has ten varieties of hops, 100+ IBU (International Bitterness Units, dumbass), and an ABV of 10%. Wouldn't that be Ten-Cubed? Anyway, I was expecting this beer to be either completely over the top or similar to my #1 favorite beer of all time. When I poured it into a glass it was much darker than I anticipated and its taste reflected that. The malty caramel flavor of this beer was so strong that it overpowered all ten varieties of hops. There was a slight citrus/floral taste, which is what I personally love in a beer, but I really had to search for it. Overall this was a major disappointment for my tastes but if you are into the malty shit, this beer is for you. 3 out of 5. Don't drink it.

Don't lose sleep about me not taking your advice on this beer. Fish Tale isn't even close to Florida.
Is that Rogue beer, your favorite, still being brewed? We get at least 20 Rogues here, but I'd never seen that one.
It was a super crazy limited release. I think only 10,000 bottles were brewed in the spirit of 10k
