After the craziness of the holiday season, we\u2019re getting back on track with our informal Friday beer tastings, and today we\u2019re trying a brewery that\u2019s new to us \u2013 Valiant.<\/p>\n<p>The beer scene here in Southern California keeps getting better and better. Based in Orange, CA, Valiant has been open for less than a year \u2013 and if their Jericho Imperial IPA is any reflection of the rest of their portfolio, they\u2019re definitely a brewery to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Luscious floral, citrus and tropical aromas and flavors burst out of this brew including grapefruit, orange, tangerine, pine blossom, pineapple, passion fruit, and more. Hops are quite spicy on the palate, too, and there\u2019s a nice mild minerality to the beer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-677 alignright\" alt=\"Jan 9, 2014 - Valiant (4)-cropped\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-4-cropped-204x300.jpg\" width=\"163\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-4-cropped-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-4-cropped-696x1024.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one very well balanced imperial IPA, with the pale and lightly caramelized malts adding wonderful balance and roundness to the beer without in any way distracting from the juicy and delicious hop explosion.<\/p>\n<p>We all were really impressed with this one. At 10.8% ABV and 100+ IBUs, Jericho is big and bombastic while somehow managing to remain tremendously graceful and composed. And just straight up delicious.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in Orange County, keep on the lookout for Jericho \u2013 this is Valiant\u2019s first bottled beer, and it\u2019s well worth picking one up if you can find it.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<br \/>\nBrett<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-8-cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-675\" alt=\"Jan 9, 2014 - Valiant (8) - cropped\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-8-cropped-1024x643.jpg\" width=\"502\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-8-cropped-1024x643.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beermonthclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jan-9-2014-Valiant-8-cropped-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Beer O\u2019Clock here at the office again!
