512 IPA

Who doesn't enjoy some spicy hops during the long summer days?  Quite a few people from what i've deduced.  The kick in the palette that can come with an IPA can sometimes be a bit much.  That being said...i am a fan of kicks in the palette.  And so we have Austin's 512 Brewing Company and their fantastic 512 IPA.  As far as the India Pale Ale goes, this one's actually pretty smooth.  The hops are there, but they're not overpowering, and there's an added citrus punch to the brew that makes the beer go down way easier than it probably should.  It's the perfect compliment to pretty much any kind of food pairing you can think of.  I had two with my dinner tonight, and my only real regret was not ordering a third.  It doesn't come in the bottle though, so it's off to the bars with you.

I may bitch about Californian transplants in Austin, but these cats have done alright.
