Draft. Hazy amber beer with a cream head. orange aroma. Orange and light grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Orange and light grapefruit linger.

12 oz can, one of many New Mexico IPAs found at a Total Wine in Albuquerque about a month ago. I have my Cowtown tulip glass ready for this tasting, can is opened and I proceed. The body is an indistinct yellow-gold followed up by a strong head of almost-white foam. I get a nose of lots of fruit, some tropical and a lesser amount of citrus. The drink finally, my first impression is a good one. Lemons and limes, white bread, a hint of tangerines, malt and a fine little hops bitterness. Nicely decent in a style I like less than the WC alternative. NM has a surprisingly strong presence in IPAs. Ex Novo in Corrales produces some good beers and La Cumbre is really good.
