Thoughts On My First Time Attending CBC...Finally

This is a long overdue piece, but time and life always bring surprises, delays, and all kinds of unexpected curveballs. This being said, I am finally getting time to get caught up and share some of the great happenings over the last few months and the first half of the year.

Beer Review: Mikkeller Better Half

Better Half from Mikkeller is an American IPA that comes in
at a nice 6.8% ABV along with a nice hop experience at 80 IBU. The beer poured
out a nice golden orange color and was capped with a tannish head. Aromas
presented included the normal and expected notes of an American IPA, along with
some of the hop dankness that is usually in line. A nice mouthfeel was
experienced with this one, and as expected there was the usual bitterness to be
experienced, although there seemed to be more on the finish than the initial
tasting. All in all, this proved to be a decent beer but check out the video to
see my other thoughts on this medium bodied beer.
