the coldest of soups

We might be feeling the future, with temperatures of 100 even before it's officially summer.  All you can do is huddle inside and keep hydrated.  They say alcohol isn't especially hydrating, but damn is a beer nice on a roasting afternoon.  Especially an IPA from a place like Garage, stepping up their hops game to sharpen flavors and give you a slap in the face to keep you awake and alert.  At least, that's what Soup Strata seems be telling us.

It comes out straw colored with a pretty fluffy white head.  It has a fairly strong hoppy aroma, with a little bit of pickliness underneath.  There's a hint of pine in there too.  The flavor is surprisingly sweet, although not candy-like or syrupy.  Any bitter is right at the front and slips by without much time spent lingering on the tongue.  There's kind of a lemonade aftertaste, with that touch of sweet citrus, very refreshing for an extra hot weekend.  It's a light feeling beer, with a delicate flavor, but there is still a solid amount of taste and texture in it.  The whole drinking experience is very stable, no big changes in feel, flavor or aroma, and undeniably enjoyable, even for not being a stout.
