The Beer Stats:

      The Face poured this one and BAM! IPA DAY reached it's pinnacle! The scent off the glass was fairly strong. The malts had a nice fresh sweet bread scent and the hops gave it fruity grassy scent. The color was a nice see through color with just a slight hop haze. The taste is where you find the IPA! Tastes slightly more bitter then the IBU would indicate. The hops bite hard on every splash. Luckily this mustache bites back! The initial taste in the mouth is the sweet malts. Then it's a variety of grassy and citrus hops. This is one of my favorite IPAs i've ever tasted. Lucky to have found this on IPADAY!
      I'm really glad I left the real thing for last. The mustache wanted to just scarf hops and this one delivered. Bitter and delicious I can't believe how good this was. The best of my five for IPA day by far! Hope you enjoyed the journey through the mustache's holiday! Cheers!
