Had this yesterday at a "tap takeover" event next to many other limited Cigar City variants, since the beer is listed as "retired" and also not even on tap at the actual brewery, I assume this is an old keg brought out of hiding for this event. So I feel lucky to have tried this rarity, but also sad since I think this is superior to regular Jai Alai. I don't go for IPAs much and will almost always favor a stout, porter, or scotch ale if given the option, but I've always had a soft spot for Jai Alai as the one IPA that I enjoy every time I have it. This stuff is even better, identical body, smell, and appearance to Jai Alai, and identical abv of 7.5%, but the TASTE. Absolutely delicious sweet lime taste, they really nailed the balance by upping the sweetness but without making it overpowering. Takes everything great about Jai Alai and turns it up a notch. I think they wold make a killing by giving this wide distribution. Freaking great.
