Clear pale on tap at mad mex. Neutral nose, but some mild hop perfume. Flat. Slightly sharp hop bitterness. Taste of rubber at times. Hand soap hiding in the background. So many million IPA out there and they all taste the same, blah. Medicinal finish. A terribly on style IPA.

Big glass at mad mex. Hazy pale with a thin scummy head. Mild hop nose. Bitter fer sure, terribly on style for a well made IPA. Virtually flat, no co2. perhaps a little fruit on the finish. Good enough IPA to ruin my taste buds for at least an hour.

Treat from old friend Paul, thanks man! Aromas and flavors are a blend of citrus, resin hops with a bit of weed and a touch of stone fruit. Good balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Nice beer.
