just what we need

So film festival over, and now it's back to more local beers.  At first I thought Sticky Storm might be a stout, but it's a double dry hopped IPA, with a sort of modern hippy family family taking their hops, kegs and bottles wherever they go.

Aromatic and cloudy, a little heavy on the citrus notes.  The head is white and fluffy, doesn't go down with any hurry either.  It's about the color of a lager, and the cloudiness might fool you into expecting a wheat beer, but the scent will disabuse you of that right away.  Bitterness is right up front, more than I expected judging by the aroma, but there's a tail-end of sweetness.  There's an odd sensation in the mouth, a slight buzz without much of an aftertaste.  The beer itself goes down cleanly, but it kind of feels like a small swarm of bees might be chasing it.  It's a snappy, peppy beer, good for summer evenings.  It's not too thick, though there is a good weight behind it.  Probably fine for year-round imbibing.
