Ska Modus Hoperandi:
Hello IPA, it seems like it’s been forever since we’ve seen each other and even longer since your complex tart taste has graced my palate.  Sure we’ve seen each other when I open the fridge and you’re laying there, next in-line in the can holder on the top shelf but I have been neglecting you; passing you over for seasonal beers for beers that satisfy the completionist in me and not returning to the beer that I have fallen in love with this year which is you my dear India PA.  Yes India, today we pay homage to you once again with a can of Modus Hoperandi from Ska, that little off beat brewery from Durango, CO.  This green can holds a version of yourself that pours a lovely cloudy orange with a rocky foam on the head that leaves a thick lacing and nose of generic citrus and sour hop notes.  The beer’s initial taste is of a creamy hop flavor that quickly grows in it’s strength and bite that build enough to overpower any citrus notes subtle or otherwise and a malty backend that give it a fresh sourdough bread taste.  The aftertaste is what you expect from a strong hop beer with a lot of skunk which means it‘s delicious to a hop head.  A delicious beer you can be proud of India and really, being a canned beer that is surprising because good IPAs seem to only exist outside glass bottles.  So be proud and hold your head high India, another beer to add to you arsenal of awesomeness.
