Damn shame they have to make this one. With that, it kind of reminds Raul of this time way back when where an old friend of mine was headed back to OC for the weekend after another week of taking tests and shit while attending USC. Anyway, before hopping on the freeway, he simply pulled up to a pump (in his open air jeep) to get gas. Problem was that he had all of his laundry in the back of his Jeep. And when he went inside to grab a drink… bye bye laundry! Can’t say I was shocked. I mean, If you are familiar with LA right outside of USC then you know (and this was in the early 2000’s before a lot has been developed). Well, what Raul is getting at is that later that night, I had to do a favor that I didn’t want to do (again, going back to how I wish this beer didn’t have to be brewed), and I loaned my friend a fresh pair of BVD’s and some skinny jeans that he could barely get into.

Oh, the times…

Another contribution to the We Love LA fundraiser.

It's funny, the label looks almost the same, minus the bear.

The aroma is totally different though. It smells a lot like the classic Smog City IPA. Notes of passion fruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, juniper, pine and black pepper.

Super clean flavor profile, mostly featuring the juniper and pine, but with hints of tangerine and mango.

The crispy clean feel is where this one really shines. Super crushable for the 7.2% ABV.

Buy some and contribute to helping our city recover! Try the Paperback one too, it's even better. Cheers!
