Mad Fat! Fluid - 3rd Anniversary Edition
Interboro Spirits and Ales

Well, it finally happened. After a CANcerted effort on my part, The CANQuest (tm) has now exhausted its backlog of Interboro CANlaboration CANs! No problem, though, as there is still a huge backlog to run through, including Interboro-only beers, CANtinuing with this one. Onwards!

From the CAN: "Double Dry Hopped India Pale Ale"; "Interboro x Bisco Smith"; "Come Visit Us and Our Tasting Room".

I beCAN with a Crack! of the vent & when nothing untoward happened, I CANtinued with a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. I was (kinda) heartened by the fact that it was not as hazy as some of their previous brews, but it was still trending to cloudy. 8=( I let it kind of do its own thing and free-flow at that point, rising up to form two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, tawny head with great retention, slowly reducing to wisps with a load of lacing in its wake. Color was a deeply-hazy/lightly-cloudy Amber (SRM = > 7, < 9). Nose smelled like a mixed bag of dried fruit from the late-Regine Ibold's stand at Central Market. It had that CANdied fruitiness of dried papaya, mango, pineapple & tangerine, plus she might have slipped some dank in there for me as an old neighbor. 8=O Mouthfeel was medium-to-full with a slick creaminess from the oats & wheat. The taste was closer to what I like - an admixture of tropical, citrus & cool mintiness. Mmm. It beCAN with a tropical sweetness, got elbowed out of the way by the citrus & then a cool mintiness rushed through. 8=O Mmm. I appreciated the relatively lower ABV, given today's self-abuse. This was like the earlier Madder Fatter Fresher, but with the intensity dialed back to a more reasonable level. Finish was cool & dry & now, I was closing in on Nirvana. YMMV.
