no full moon yet

Suffering triple digit (Fahrenheit) temperatures makes one long for a stimulating drink.  Fortunately, the beer stores have bottles in a fridge, just waiting to be picked up and hurried off for a quaffing.  Studying the selection carefully, I finally opted for La Loba, a domestic IPA.  Pale ales tend to be good for high temperatures, and it has a good back story on the label.
Made by Macbeth's witches, apparently
Guess this was before Romulus and Remus
A sour-bitter smell wafts off the opened top, with almost comic-like streams of particles.  It's awfully heady, white and fluffy on top.  The beer itself is tannish-gold and slightly opaque.  It's bitter tasting, but not terribly much, maintaining a smoothness that quenches thirst will alerting the tastebuds.  There's a little bit of fruitiness hiding in the flavor, that comes out first in the aftertaste but gets stronger as drinking progresses.
