100th review and an interesting brew to review at that.

a: best lookin IPA I've found to date. Beautify pale gold with good head and lacing to boot.
s: wife says pickles. I don't know about that, but it is a tart like pungent hoppy nose.
t: Lemony fresh with a strong bitter punch to keep you honest.
m: medium bodied but a creaminess to it.
d: very intense and high alcohol makes this a sipper to be sure.

This is a enjoyable beer. 750 ml bottle was getting a bit warm so I put it in the freezer for a bit. Naturely I fogot about it as I sipped away at the glass I poured. Needless to say my next glass was ice cold. Usually I don't like ice cold beer, but this is pretty good. Somewhat refreshing yet unrelentingly bitter.
