Alright, time for a quick review of the DuganA IPA from Avery Brewing Company (@averybrewingco) out of Boulder, Colorado. Like most Colorado beers I review here, I picked this one up at Spec's in Houston. They can get beers from New Belgium, Avery, Great Divide, Ska, and others that aren't in Louisiana yet. Hopefully someday they will be, but for now I'll just have to make the occasional beer run.
For this IIPA, I poured from a bomber into an imperial pint glass. It's a hazy faded orange color, with two fingers of frothy white head. Great retention and lacing.
The aroma is hoppy as expected, but it's tough to place the exact hop profile. There are floral notes, a little honey even. The taste is hoppy and bitter, a good match for the aroma.
There's a little lingering bitter taste, but pretty good mouthfeel. I guess my overall impression is that it's a good but not great beer. I'd drink it again, but I don't know that I'd seek it out... at least not until the next release.
