Hail to the New Prez American P.A.!

It appears to be a long time a comin' but it's finally here. Got to speak out to the masses on this.

Totally independent swill drinkers can vouch for this brew as being the best so far of my fledgling attempts to create the next great American P.A.

This brew rawkes!
You nailed the finish this time!
You should give this away!
You should sell this!

And my homage to the Atomic Punk I.P.A.

It cleared up nicely--better aroma but still not that punch in the nose I was looking for--great head--nice hop/malt balance. Very drinkable.
