Jai Alai - Cigar City, Flordia

That good good, the flagship from one of Florida's top boys. I first came across Cigar City by chance, they did a collab with my all time favorites Magic Rock back in 2016. Wayniac was an absolute belter and this beer is no different from the Floridian's



Cigar City Brewing Jai Alai IPA
ABV -
7.5%

Colour - Copper to misty gold with a decent opacity. Minimal head that disperses in no time at all.
Smell - Soft on the nose with vague tropical notes and a citrus after burn. Potentially some grassy odours reminiscent of a golf course in July. Hops are far from overpowering for an IPA and there's a subtle sweetness that carries through to the flavour.
Taste - A real taste sensation, there's no wonder this is their top boy it's real tasty. The sweetness from the smell carries through with vague hints of caramel and an almost piney after taste.

4/5 - A real sup'able number! So good in-fact I'm going to swing by their tap room later this week. Sweeter than your average IPA and one that even no crafty folks can enjoy.
