Big, soft and fluffy, the perfect port in the storm. Fall face first into a massive, cloud like IPA, cushioned by pillows upon pillows of hops. You never need to apologize for partying, and it's cool if you drool while you nap out. It's not your place, it's just a crash pad.

Another 12 oz can picked up on the singles shelf at the close-by HEB, I am pleased to get a Real Ale beer. We are hoping to make it to their taproom again late next month on a trip to the Hill Country, nice place to drink a brew. I pulled out the ABGB tulip glass for this sampling, the can is opened and I make a pour. I see a cloudy, medium gold body completed by a thin but persistent skim of completely white foam. The scent is fruit, some decent hoppiness and grain, nothing out of the ordinary really. The drink, well, it really takes a step up. A bit of citrus, mango, pine, white bread and some melon. More bitterness than your average NEIPA, good by me. It tends to the dry side and the sensation is rather full, a contribution from the fairly high ABV I think. The taste is good, the label is attractive, RA looks to have hit their stride with this beer.
