A fantastic IPA - Racer 5 by Bear Republic

While dining at Denver's Potager (see review on DenverRestaurantReview), I tried a IPA by Bear Republic called Racer 5. This beer was one of the best IPAs I've ever had. Thick creamy head, unfiltered golden hue, with a wonderfully bitter hoppy flavor. There are aromas of sweet fruit, an initial smoothness on the palate, followed by astringent drying, and a wheaty finish. This beer has a high alcohol content @ 7% but it is well balanced with IBUs at 69. Enjoy!!
