today is sunday and i tried this beer on thursday.  i’ve been wondering what to write, but my mind is blank still.  it was the hoppiest beer i’ve had in a long while.   i neither liked nor disliked it.  it just was.  points for a good name?

too bitter for my taste, i drank half the (small) glass. i would not buy it again for *me* but maybe i’d buy it again were i gathering a variety of beers for a party. maybe. just not a good beer for me.

tasty beer.  i liked drinking it on a coldish january day while watching football and eating chips & salsa.  it really worked with the food!  but maybe i just liked the food, actually, because i don’t see myself ordering this beer at the bar.  (i tried  to order it at two bars in uptown and they didn’t have it and i had to resort to a liquor store.  lame!)
