i wish it wasn't so difficult to get this stuff in illinois. it's only sold in chicago (ugh), otherwise you have to go to indiana (double ugh) to get it. and even then, if you can find it, there's usually a single 6-pack limit on it because of scarcity. 

anyways, the beer. typing as i was drinking: lots of grapefruit and pine in the aroma. huge citra hop profile on the first taste. grapefruit, citrus fruits, dank and bitter af, but lots of malty sweetness. very well balanced. very smooth. almost a little under-carbonated, but the head is hanging on well. as it's warming up in the glass a bit, more pine is coming through, but the grapefruit still dominates. kinda syrupy with all that sweetness. yep. this beer is still in my all time top 5. last couple sips left now. lots of lacing on the sides of my fancy ipa spiegelau glass. now that it's gone, i'm tempted to crack the second one. but i'll probably hang onto it for later tonight.

with yesterday's union block party in front of our house, i was pretty sure i'd spend all day today hung over. managed to pace myself and alternate well enough to avoid a hangover this morning. but a little hair of the dog still felt right. day 2 of all day drinking has officially commenced.

happy day of birth. :)
