Overall Impression:
Very easy to drink beer. Tasted more like a pale ale to me, so if you're not really into IPA's this might be an IPA you could drink. It was a great summer beer since the abv isn't too high. It was really light in my mouth. I wish it would have had more of a distinct aroma. Nothing really stood out to me with this one, not even the hops, which is unusual for an IPA. It didn't really leave a lasting impression, but if I'm in Reno, and I visit the brewery, then I'd try it again. Maybe it'd be better on tap. I liked the label, and think it's cool it's named after Nevada's state fossil.
That is pretty cool label :) I like more oomph with my IPAS. Those that leave an impression. Either case, any new beer is worth trying once :)
ReplyDeleteThis one was pretty good. Not a fav, but I enjoyed trying it. :)
