12 oz can bought at Total Wine in Santa Fe appropriately enough. My Buffalo Bayou tulip glass is ready, I open the can and tilt into the glass. The appearance is a curious, totally clear, light gold liquid completed by a persistent top of bright white foam. A faint scent, I get touches of citrus and grain. The taste leans towards an IPA, there is grass, some pine, limes, more of the grain and for some reason, a hint of melon. Slightly bitter and there is some depth in the sensation. Actually I am liking this beer considerably more than expected. Over 2000 ratings and this is my first Cold IPA and my first new style in a long time. Good introduction.
