Cerveza Chica; Well, I must admit that the name of this beer scared me, but Ferm. was really excited about trying it so I had no choice in the matter. It definitely wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be, and in fact it was very smooth and fairly easy to drink. Don’t get me wrong you could definitely taste all of the hops, but it wasn’t hop overload. I really enjoyed the nose of this beer because it didn’t smell too bitter. This was an IPA so I am more partial to them, and I have to say I wouldn’t mind drinking more of it. You get the hops initially, but then they quickly disappear. This beer is without a doubt worth trying.
Score:3.37




Ferm; Ok, Hop Heads I thought that this would take my head off by its name…well not really. This was a sexy beer with its white sticky head, that decided to hang out on my glass the entire time. It smelled like a Hop BOMB but fell a little short on the attack. A smooth taste lead into a lingering bitterness. Don’t get me wrong this was an awesome IPA, just the name lead me to believe that I finally found a beer to compete with Ruination. Well not so much, but it was still a great drink. I would put it on par with Hop Slam by Bells. This is a beer that is easy to drink more than one, and is definitely worth picking up this weekend from your local beer shop. I think I will grab a few more.
Score: 4.498

Overall: 3.934
