Handwritten notes: Pure IPA, and 100% man. This is the type of beer that would do bench-presses in a gym with no shirt on, then shower and walk around the men's locker room naked, cuz, fuck it, I got nothing to be ashamed of. This beer shocked me in the throat. Is there such a thing as "too much flavour"? Nah, that's like having too much money or getting too much sleep. The label says there is a "balance" of flavour. I thinks not. There's nothing wrong with that, though, and this flamer should come out of the closet. This beer almost made my throat numb, and that's pretty close to "too much flavour".
