7K IPA is brewed way up in Santa Fe, NM, and is a dry, West Coast-ish style IPA with notes of grapefruit, citrus and tropical flavors. The hop profile combines Simcoe and Mosaic with Eldorado and Amarillo playing backup. On the palate, it starts with a touch of caramel malt sweetness that balances out the hops and finishes with a fruity, slightly resinous hop flavor and clean bitterness. It’s fruity and intense with a clean hop profile and leaner malt base than other IPAs. So if you’re searching for the next great IPA, just look up. Higher. No, higher. There we are.

12 oz can. Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a small white head that soon recedes to a film film. The aroma is on the milder side with pineapple, grapefruit and lemons. The taste features mangoes, papayas and sweetened grapefruit. The palate seemed a bit thin and weak. Finished short and dry with some lingering candied grapefruit. Overall: meh

Taster at the Gate City Craft Bar. Pours a clear, amber color, with a small, tan head. The aroma is coriander, lemon zest, juniper berries, and lavender. Sweet and malty, with a bold, citrusy bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and a bit acidic. Quality.

Can Liz brought from Albuquerque. Pours translucent gold with a moderate creamy white head. Aroma has lots of citrus/resin over pale malt support and notes of melon or similar. Med body or better. Flavor is pretty much the aroma - adding some pungent spice resin notes. Towards juicy, but not sweet. Pretty bitter. Pretty good.

Draft at Fuego’s in ABQ. Pale gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma full of pine and melons. Taste is bitter the whole way through. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Straightforward, clean, refreshing. Good.
