Not a bad red IPA. Will be buying this again. Pretty solid beer by Wild Acre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light hazy straw color. A nice but thin head. Good carbonation. A light hoppy aroma. A buttery smooth mouthfeel that compliments the hoppy taste. Overall it’s interesting and I’ll be trying another. From a 12 ounce can into a tumbler at The Old Crystal Bar in Alpine, TX.

Now re-branded as T-Hawk IPA. This made allot more sense when I found out it was a red ipa. It is a solid red ipa but really does not conform to a straight ipa. you got me why they went away from calling it what it is.

I really enjoy this beer! We’ll balance hops and citrus with a beautiful color and clean head. This is one that get remembered and perfect for a chilly evening. LOVE IT!

 

 

 

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a semi cloudy dark gold to Amber color with a large almost tan head. The aroma is sweet hops. The taste is hops and a hint of molasses. it looks like this beer is now called T-Hawk.

Had it with a sausage and pistachio pizza after the Dallas Stars won their last game of the 2018 season.

From a can into a shaker pint. Dear reddish brown with a beautiful head and lacing. Sweet malty smell and taste. A very good red ale. Dallas - Fort Worth seems to have many examples of this style. Will get again!

Tarantula Hawk is an interesting one. Apparently it's been around for a while, but I only started seeing it in my local HEB a few months ago. Picked up a single can on a whim and honestly loved it. Ended up going back for a six pack every now and then and now it's one of my go-to beers.

Poured from a can into my 12oz Mewtwo glass my girlfriend got me. It has a distinct pine and cedar smell to it with a deep red color. The taste is quite hoppy like you'd expect with grassy undertones. One has to note the affordable price point as well. Where I live, this beer is only 8 bucks and some change for a six pack. Makes me wonder why you'd choose some generic stuff like Bud Light when it costs the exact same, but to each their own. A lot of beers like this might break the bank, but this one'll do you good.

Overall, this is a beer that captures the spirit of Texas. Makes you long for those nostalgic afternoons just chillin in the country. Not sure if they sell it outside of Texas, but you should definitely give this one a try, it's easily in my top five.
