Cigar City Florida Man On the Moon India Pale Ale

 Cigar City Florida Man On the Moon India Pale Ale. Brewed with Galaxy, Strata and Talus hops. (Are these all astronomical references?) 


6.5% ABV, 60 IBU, Cigar City Brewing, Tampa, FL. 

Lightly hazed, bright golden, large and lasting ivory head. 

In the nose: soft and fuzzy, floral and citrusy. An intriguing melange. 

In the mouth: big, bold burst of hoppiness explodes on the palate. Just enough bitterness to keep this hophead happy. Orange and lemon meet mango and melon. Long, hoppy finish, medium bodied. 

This one was canned in the end of June, and was one of the last from the variety pack I purchased back in September. Did I sit on this too long? It definitely tasted better when fresher, but I feel this isn’t far from the first two I had. 

All in all, a zesty enterprise.

The World's Worst Superhero is going interstellar in this iteration of his namesake beer. Brewed with an astronomical amount of Galaxy hops, this IPA's bright tropical qualities are sure to send you to weird and wonderful worlds beyond the Sunshine State.
