A pretty damn good beer. This is a beer from my good friend Adam Jefferies home brew stash. He brewed the beer for his wedding and I got a bottle. I pays to know people. Adam has been brewing for the last year and has quickly become quite a brewer. I have yet to taste a bad beer from his kitchen.
This was his first foray into the hoppyland of IPA's. As you know this is my favorite style and I was looking forward to give this one a try. The beer wa great. It got a really high score for a homebrew. It was hoppy and delicous. I always want more hops though. Very goo showing. I'm proud to say that I have tasted this beer of all his beers. I'm a hoppy man. Kudos Adam to the land of IPA and congrats on the nuptials. Huzzah!
