Sierra Nevada Floral IPA (Beer Camp #53)

Pours the color of honey, with a fast-receding fluffy white head. Typical IPA hop profile - piney/grapefuity, with a little something extra (must be the "floral"). I can almost detect some rose in the flavor/aroma mix in there with everything else. Very dry. Nothing really wrong with it, but it's not pushing any buttons with me.

I waited a day and then had a second one. Here's some free advice - don't drink a beer right after brushing your teeth! Had one with some smoked pineapple brats and onion with BBQ sauce and Floral IPA was just right. Enough of a zing and a zip to keep up with the Devil's Spit and enough sweetness from the floral notes to make it interesting. Yeah...always go back for seconds!
