Modus Hoperandi

I went to a local watering hole a couple of weeks ago with some friends and they had this on tap so I thought I would give it a shot. It poured a nice golden amber color capped with a nice white head. "This is definitely a nice IPA," I thought to myself as the hops, piney, citrus notes hit my nose. Once again my gut was right. It wasn't until I took the firs sip that I noticed the malt with a wee bit of caramel and a bitter finish. This is a medium bodied well balanced beer and the 6.8% ABV gives it that extra kick.

This is also good out of the can as well.

4/5

Am I the only one who doesn't like beer out of cans.

Elwood's review is pretty spot on. It's a surprisingly well bodied/bitter finish beer from a can.

I will certainly look for it again. I would rate it 4 out of 5 drunken Rayray texts.
