41/2 out of 6
Want a sixer

This is a wonderful tasting beer that needs to be drank slowly, so all of your senses can soak up the beer loveliness. This beer is like a IPA, but without the malty foundation you find in one, which brings the crispness to the for. Also if you are into BPA I suggest you try a Flying Dog Raging Bitch BPA, review coming for that one soon.
