This 16 oz can was found at Total Wine in Albuquerque a few months ago. Bow & Arrow is an interesting brewery, lots of IPAs, some of them rather good. Cowtown tulip glass catches the pour, I determine a hazy pale yellow body topped by a powerful head of snow white foam. The nose is pleasant enough, citrus, tropical fruit and a whiff of hops, nothing extraordinary. But now the taste and I can say it is good. Dried apricots, guava, crackers, malt, plenty of hops and an accompanying bitterness, grain, a touch of pineapple and likewise with grapefruit. Hazy style is not my favorite but this beer is a proper example. And the label reflects the brewery's ownership, nice touch.
