Beer of the Week: Highland Brewing Daycation IPA

Beer score: 5.8

Company: Highland Brewing
ABU: 4.9
IBU: 40

To be honest, I know IPAs have been popular for a few years now, but it's one of my least favorite types of beer, so I'll be glad when that trend burns away.

That being said, this one has a huge foamy head, if that' your thing. In a clear glass it has a slightly cloudy copper color and gives off smells of citrus zest and maybe a little bitter woodiness.

On the tongue, this one is fairly watery for an IPA. There's initially a burst of citrus bitterness not uncommon to this style, but it burns away quickly to be replaced by a vague flat bitterness that lingers on the back of the tongue for a while.

One of the lighter IPAs I've ever tried.
