I have a 12 oz can from Mr. T's fine craft beer shop that is stamped with an apparent born-on date of 5/30/23. Another hot and dry day in West Texas, I believe I am ready to sample an IPA. The tab is popped and I tilt the can into a Cowtown tulip glass. I determine a milky, lemonade colored liquid completed by a lengthy head of very fine, very white bubbles. I smell honeydew melon and citrus. The taste is interesting, yes, I can say that. Slightly dank, grapefruit, still some melon but less intense than the nose, hops and malt. There is a decent bitterness at the finish, I appreciate that. A decent diversion.
