Before this week, I had a wine guy and a whiskey guy. But I was missing a beer guy. A man who not only knows his stuff, but has the stock to back it up. No more. Today, on my walk home from the train, with a little guidance from my beer guy, I picked-up a new (to me) IPA.
10% ABV and 100 IBU. Like Dale’s Ale, with also comes to us from Oskar Blue Brewery in Colorado, this bad boy comes in a can.

Appearance: A golden orange.
Smell: Very light in this department. Hops and a little someth’n sweet.
Taste: Hoppy. Very little sweet. The hops are strong, though not over the top, but the lack of sweetness emphasizes them. A long and strong bitter finish which makes you want to keep sipping.
Mouth: Good carbonation that foams nicely in the mouth. Easy to drink.
Overall: A solid IPA which at first reminded of Harpoon IPA, one of my go-to beers. I would love for Toby’s Public House to have this around. Unless you’re on a mission to try new IPAs, it’s not worth going out of your way to find; you can find equally good beers without the effort. But if you see it, drink it.
