Diamond Bear brewery was recommended months ago by a commenter. My friend Joe from Arkansas pick this up for me over Christmas after the mix up around Thanksgiving when he went to Mexico and not Arizona. Diamond Bear brewery has won some awards for their IPA which is what I was hoping to get.
This beer has a nice caramel malt and honey smell that is balanced with a nice hop aroma. The hop aroma is a little citrus a little pine. The color is a reddish amber that is clear on this glass. I had a glass earlier that was cloudy, the difference between the two is that the cloudy one was colder. The head pours well, but doesn't have much retention.
This beer is very well balanced the malt sweetness start the taste and is followed by a nice dose of hops. The hops are stronger than expected for a pale ale, but not over the top. The finish is clean with just a bit of bitterness.
This is a really nice drinkable beer. This is a beer I would happily drink everyday. It's nice a balanced with good flavors, and stronger than average hops.
