The Spring Beer Scabs: # 7 HS Aarsh vs ST Farmers Tan
Since the #7 and #10 seeds from the Farm, Hops and Reds Region were so F-ing bad, they have been replaced. So we bring in two big beers to replace them. Heavy Seas Aarsh Imperial Red Ale will take the # 7 seed. While Southern Tier's Farmer's Tan Imperial Farmhouse Ale takes over the # 10 seed. Two imperials head to head. Aarsh pours out a light red with big caramel, citrus and a touch of yeast on the nose. Tan pours out a slightly cloudy straw with a strong honey,caramel, and citrus herb nose. The Aarsh has big yummy flavors here with mocha caramel,and citrus hop throughout, that's good. Wow Farmer's tan is very impressive as well with nice crisp citrus herb, honey, and caramel. The Aarsh has a nice body with a pleasant 7 % ABV. But Farmers Tan has a nicer 9 % ABV, point Farmers. I really like these both and Aaarsh is the best red I have ever had by a long shot. This is as close as it gets, but Farmer's Tan pulls away at the end to win this one. I would recommend both these beers unreservedly. Again now we have a very good 10 seed, oh well. Better than me having to drink crappy beer. Oh yeah, fuck those losers I threw out, those beers sucked.
