Woohoo! Another brewery putting out their craft in cans. Ska Brewing Co. out of Durango, CO puts out some good brews inspired by Ska music and lifestyle. Let's dig into their IPA, Modus Hoperandi.
Aroma - Smells like grapefruits, citrus, and pine. Slight malty sweetness in the background there.
Appearance - Clear, amber, orange brew. Thin white head.
Flavor - First thing that gets me is the balance of his beer. There are a load of hops; grapefruit and pine. Then comes a nice subtle maltiness, not too sweet or over-powering, but balanced. A nice smooth bitterness finishes everything off. I'm ready for the next swig.
Mouth-feel - Medium body and carbonation. Nice and dry.
Overall - What a great easy drinking IPA! Plenty of hop aroma and flavor, right on for the style. Very balanced and easy to drink. Time to go hit the poolside with a couple more of these!
