Magic Hat Brewing Co. HI.P.A * * *

The 3/4 Pint of Indian Pale Ale.  It was good, it was extremely hoppy, just as their website says it is HIGHLY HOPPED.  I would drink it again. I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars.  It was almost too much to handle at first but I am going to contribute that to the fact I was eating Chinese food (crab rangoon) with it.   This was one of the beers that Amie bought with the Magic Hat Brewing Company's Spring Fever 12pack during her travels out in North Carolina.   I visited their website it is a very unique one very different navigation.  http://www.magichat.net/


Per their website: http://www.magichat.net/springfever/beer

hI.P.A.

hI.P.A. is a highly hopped India Pale Ale and the Spring SeasonAle. A medium-bodied beer with a fresh and fruitful nose of vernal vitality. It begins and ends with a big hop bite that is itself forever balanced on the brink by a steady rhythm of malt. Dry-hopped for extra quenching in the face of heat and beat, it's an ideal accompaniment to chilling out, turning inward or sailing onward through the music of the night toward the dawn of the mind. It's the liquid way to say be here now lest you never come this way again.
