Austin Beerworks generally stick to their tried and true canned libations, but of late, they've unleashed a series of different IPA's on to our unsuspecting yet appreciative populace. The third batch of their Heavy Machinery series is a Half IPA, a light-bodied concoction of hoppy goodness...in a tall boy no less. The beer is golden with a thick white head, a delicious aroma of pine and citrus, and a nice bite from the hops in the brew. It tastes like an IPA, but feels lighter and cleaner overall, hence the "half" designation. I dug it. A good IPA is like a good stinky cheese. It's not for everybody, but there's just something about it that keeps me coming back for more.
