La Cumbre Project Dank IPA

The La Cumbre Brewing Company is in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Their Project Dank India Pale Ale has a variable recipe that changes over time. This is a 7.5% ABV version.

The beer pours a hazy golden yellow. There is nearly an inch of white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, citrus, dank, mango skin. The taste follows the aromas, but changes their order, dank first, then mango skin, then citrus. It is spicy. The finish is moderately bitter, held down by some big malt, enough to add some sweetness and body, but the hops are the driver here. The beer drinks smooth, round, full, with soft carbonation. This is a nice IPA.
