it's what I do...

The end is in sight, but only ales light the way.  No One has an interesting label, though, with a Game of Thrones style font and a wall of ... heads, I guess.  Different sorts of foxes?  Guineu has some flashy ideas. 

A pretty, dark gold beer with an ivory head, slight citrus scent.  Much like Hop Fiction, it's heavy and bitter, but with enough shiny orange to keep things light.  It has a little pepper kick to it, in spite of the heft, and it's easy enough to sip and savor.  It reminds me of Cibeles Imperial IPA, another powerful member of the set.  It's not especially complex, but flavorful and enjoyable.  It feels soft and creamy despite the touch of spiciness, and has a year-round appeal to it.  Perhaps the very sensitive would find it a little too much for a summer beer, but like many IPAs, it has that stimulating bitterness to pull you out of doldrums.  The weight makes it an acceptable choice for cold weather too, a jacket to bundle up your tastebuds in.
