David Benedetto: Ah, I'm excited to try this! Grabbed the latest batch of DDH Envie the other day and working through some Opus at the moment myself.
LB Kovac is drinking a Shotgun Double IPA by Abita Brewing Company
Pleasantly surprised - solid west coast IPA. Nice resin-y sweetness upfront, grapefruit hop bitterness on the back end. Great for the price.

LB Kovac is drinking The Tide and Its Takers by Anchorage Brewing Company
Sweet on the front end. PLeasant lemon-like acidity that is cut with a touch of bitterness. Finished light with some floral notes.

LB Kovac is drinking a Bloom by Parish Brewing Co.
A little bit lighter-bodied and sweeter than the most recent batch of Ghost. Still, a well-balanced, easy-drinking American IPA.
LB Kovac is drinking a Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisse Raspberry by Mikkeller
Light bodied, crisp, raspberry shows up towards the end. Low abv! Seems like it'd be great after mowing.

Solid IPA, some citrus flavors mid-palate, a little malty on the back end.
