To Go Where No One Went Before - IPAs! Elysian Contact Haze IPA

 Greetings beer fans.  I'm ashamed to state that I've started to like IPAs.  So we are going to have some posts about those.  (Renee says that liking IPAs is a sign of maturity.  Hmm, maybe.)

I bought a 12 pack of Elysian IPAs and it's the variety pack.  I thought about getting the blog going again about 90% of the way through the 12 pack, so there won't be posts about most of those.

Up today is the Elysian Contact Haze,

6% Alcohol

Nice hints of citrus.

Not too bitter.

All around a reasonable drink without any of the sour taste I associate with IPAs.  But as I drink it, the citrus seems to drop into the background.  I don't see wanting to drink two of these.  I suspect the low alcohol level also makes it taste a bit thin.

So, maybe a nice hot day drink.   It won't cloud the head with the lack of alcohol and the first flavor tones seem to recede with each mouthful.  A bit disappointing is my conclusion.
