tiny differences

Jopen's RPA has a colorful, happy label, and was the first RPA I remember seeing.  Always gotta try new things!  It has a little bit of a sour smell, reminding me of many Belgian beers, and comes out looking herbal.  Deep tan and a slightly dirty looking head.  The taste is just like an IPA, except for some high note that hits the palate and lingers.  Maybe influenced by the color, I keep thinking of grasses or health juices.  Very satisfying flavor, probably more like Flipa than anything else.  For me, it provoked a craving for something savory and spicy, so a little chorizo was a nice makeshift tapa tonight.
Chorizo not shown, sorry
