This Weekend's Nightcap - Rubicon IPA

I returned from a night in Koreatown, doing a little pre-season bowling (starts Wednesday!). Bowled a very feminine 75 the first game - was my first game in months - but bounced back in the second for 138. My average last year was 145/150, so I'm in a good spot right now. Also tried my first Papusas at a Salvadorian restaurant, which was cheap and goood. David and I cracked open a Rubicon IPA to watch the last two concerts in an underwhelming VMA's from Linkin Park (playing at the Griffith Observatory, which would be awesome) and Kanye West, who pulls off a red suit like a pimp but his performance was archaic.
This weekend's nightcap

The hops are pretty bold out of the gate but as with the last Rubicon, once the carbonation wears off the beer settles down. Hops are still pretty raw, not as well balanced as I would've liked but I still enjoyed. It's better than their ESB. I've never heard of Rubicon before this year, but now it's officially on my radar. I gave their ESB an Armageddon rating, but this fella has one up'd it. TRANSFORMERS rating.
