My wife sometimes does this cool thing where she signs me up for a beer-of-the-month kind of thing, usually as a gift for Valentine's Day or Father's Day or something, and then i reap the rewards. From my latest delivery, i got the Hoppenstance Double IPA from New York's
Hamburg Brewing. The 8% ABV brew pours a light gold with a white head and smells of tropical fruit, grass, and some light dank notes. The flavor is a smooth (especially for a double IPA) mix of citrus, grass, lemon peel, and some peppery spice. This is a great brew to start the springtime with, even if it is abnormally cold in Austin today.
