Mission Brewery: Mission IPA


This was a solid IPA. The smell is very fruity and sweet when you crack it open. The mouthful is about the same but with a bit of a biscuit taste because of the malts, which i like. This almost reminds me a of a double because of the solid malty body. I could see this being a regular buy for me.

New Belgium Brewing inc: Ranger IPA

You can't really beat the price at $2.99 for a bomber and it comes in a 6 pack.

This is a nice IPA to sit down on a warm summer day while grilling. It's very light and crisp, but that's about it. When you crack it open you can really smell the grass and pine hops with some citrus mixed in, unfortunately it smells better than the actual mouthful that has more of a light bitter dryness with little malt body to it at all.

This was enjoyable, but i can think of other IPA's i would get for a buck or two more that would be much better.
