Lopez Beer

I was showing a friend the beer blog and realized it had been over 4 years since my last post. Well, that got me thinking that maybe it was time....or maybe it was the nice beer in my hand. Either way, it had been awhile since I'd had this beer.

Hop Stoopid Ale (IPA) - Lagunitas Brewing Co

At 8% and 102 IBU's, you should expect certain things. What I forgot was the wonderful nose that fully embraced my face. So pleasant. It smelled like the inside of a hop bud as you peel back the layers. Definitely grapefruit and pine. The malt and hop balance was a surprising symbiotic balance of love and affection. To sum it up, it worked.

Until next time,
