El Toro India Pale Ale - El Toro Brewing Co - Morgan Hill, Ca

Mmmmm.

Deliciously hoppy scent. A little sweet, which is surprising, but delicious.

Strawberry blonde to golden in color. That first sip makes me overlook that there is clearly stuff floating in my beer.

No, I didn't forget to do the dishes again. This would appear to be an unfiltered beer.

Woah. That's a kick in the sides of the tongue. In such a good way. And it hangs around there, just under your tongue, reminding you that it's there. mmmmm.


You should try this beer. It reminds me of some of my favorites at Vox on the east side. That was honestly my first thought. I've had something very simily to this before. Tyreanna perhaps. The Bitter Woman IPA. So good. (both this one and that one)

Now for sure not as powerful on the back of your pallate, there is a nice finish there.

A little heavy on the hop scale for certain.

3.75 Hoppiness.
4 for an overall beer
3.5 on drinkability. You'd probably be done with this beer after about 3. Great though. Nice work El Toro!
