Day 15 of the January IPA Extravaganza brings us this tasty IPA from Smog City Brewing Company, Torrance, California. Since arriving on the beer scene in 2011, Smog City has put out a number of fantastic brews, and their IPA hits the mark dead-center.

This is a terrific and easy-drinking 7.2% ABV IPA using Citra, Simcoe and Centennial hops. Fantastic head, great lacing. Really a great India Pale Ale, and the can graphics are the best I’ve seen all year!

Great job in all ways, you will enjoy this!

Based on the game I assume the first one was way better than the second.
When you blend a bunch of fruit together you can’t really go wrong. Is it my thing, not really but I do enjoy them occasionally. I can’t justify spending $24/4-pack or more on them but when I get a can in a make your own 6-pack for $12, then I’ll give them a shot.
The first one was cherry forward. The second one was lemon & lime forward.
The Eagles looked bad last night when enjoying those.
 
Poured the first bottle of HB Kolsch. Not too bad and it had good Kolsch-like qualities. Malty, with that hint of winey sweetness. More time in the fridge should help clear it up. Kolsch yeasts are notorious for low floc (I used Lalbrew Koln, which, sadly is being discontinued).

I was hoping to try the Lalbrew Koln in an upcoming brew; have heard good things about it; I'll have to pick up a pack.
