When I first read about this new kit I was really excited. Arrogant Bastard is a terrific beer. I expected this to be a great brew and thats exactly what it turned out to be. Toasty/malty beginning with a well balanced and solid bitter finish. Lots of great flavor depth. Comparing this clone to actual arrogant, I prefer this. Am I biased? Could be. Am I being arrogant? Quite possibly. I have a feeling this one isn't going to last through August. I also think it tastes best when it isn't super cooled. Definitely better around 50 degrees. More flavor comes through. I started one very cold from the fridge and the first sips were ok but were muted. As it got a little warmer it really started to rock.2 packs S-05, ( Maybe overkill but I do a double with any beer expected over 1.060 OG % and my beers finish around 10-14 days and they always hit the right FG), oxygenated 2 minutes (if you don't use pure oxygen infusion you're making everything more difficult... your beers will change for the better if you get one... spend the 50 bucks). Fermented between 70-72. FG was spot on, and my ABV is around 7.2%. One 22 oz will have you feeling good and totally arrogant in no time. Do you Like good strong beers? Are you worthy? If so, Absolutely get this kit. 38.99 is an awesome deal, and these are delicious and powerful with ZERO "hot" or alcohol flavor (at least for me). You'll finish one 22 and not think twice about pouring 2nd.
