Sága IPA

Another gift from one of my favorite craft beer reps, Sága is named after the Norse Goddess Sága who was (Summit says) the drinking companion of Odin. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1ga_and_S%C3%B6kkvabekkr ) Okey-Dokey; whatever the reason for the name (and what better name for an ale than that of a goddess?) this is a fine IPA. It pours a peach color with a white head that you could walk across without sinking. Grapefruit and pine tickle the tongue right off the bat...but wait - there's more~! Tropical fruits, including pineapple and mango cavort across the taste buds and excite the senses as the hop bitterness gives Sága a kick and a half. Recommended for newly minted IPA fans like John Joyce.
