Hueco and Evolution Lot No. 6

Well, I just got home from Hueco Tanks. I have a silly video of my two most recent “gifts ” to Hueco. They're included in this awful video. Crushilizations Volume 1. I'm so excited that after a year-long hiatus due to a finger injury, subsequent surgery, and physical therapy, that I can climb again, even though I'm not pulling very hard.

When I returned home, I stopped at State Line Liquors, and my buddy Joe Buchter showed me something that made my day...

The Evolution Lot Number 6 Double IPA. It is one of my favorite IPAs, and it's been draft only until now. This is easily one of my favorites. I have often looked for something like this while getting other, lesser beers. It's 8.5% abv, but still light. The hops are Columbus, Centenial, and Citra, against malts of Pale, Pilsner, Caramalt, and Dark Crystal. The hop flavor is big, but not overpowering. It's quite full of citrus with malts that are quiet but present. There is a pleasant bitter aftertaste, but it isn't off-putting. This beer could be dangerous, as it is as drinkable as it is potent.
