Absolutely Delicious Brew! This along with Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA are my 2 favorites. Buy a keg, it’s even better on tap

Bottle. Pours a nice amber color with a thin white head. The aroma is mostly that of orange or grapefruit. goes down smooth with a bit of a soapy after taste. Nice brew

What to celebrate? Back on guitar duty. 20 years of Dischord. Minor Threat demo tape. Off! sticker. You know what’s funny? It’s all set up for 500 being something like Red Stripe on my Friday session in Lichfied. Parasite.
