Just because he's skinny doesn't mean he's not a jerk.

Justin:

Aroma - Citrus, mango, pineapple, a little bit of resinous hops as well.  So juicy and enticing.
Score: 12/12
Appearance - Straw colored with a dense white foam that remains on top of the beer throughout the drinking experience. Brilliantly clear.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - Predominantly dank, resiny hops with some pine and juicy citrus (orange, orange peel, pineapple) notes as well.  Great balance but not quite perfect.
Score: 18/20
Mouthfeel - Medium body with a medium carbonation.  Nothing going here besides deliciousness.
Score: 4/5
Overall Impression - This beer was the most recent release from the Colorado brewery that's only been distributing in MO for a not quite a year.  Known for their hop-forward selection, they made quite the splash when they came into town and continue to hit home runs.  This simply titled "IPA" was almost perfect across the board.
Score: 9/10

 

Blake is busy getting tan in Mexico to celebrate his recent wedding!  Congrats!  For now, you'll have to put up with just reading Justin's reviews.  Blake will make sure to update this post when he returns to include his thoughts on this beer.
