A little lighter, less malty than a true German example. OK.

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.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear, amber color, with a big, foamy, beige head. The aroma is pumpernickel, pine, cane sugar and grassy rum, and toast. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light to medium body, sticky, and grainy. Quality and tasty.

Can from a supermarket somewhere on my Oregon trip. Nicely tropical fruity aroma with fruity hops, grapefruit, malt, and pine resin. Medium bitter flavour with a mild malty resinous sweetness. Body is medium. An all-round tasty example of an IPA done right.
