Met coworker Tiff and her high school friends Andrew and Matt at our weekly Surly Goat rendezvous and immediately proceeded with games and beer, which is the best way to finish a workweek.

Atticus is statistically one of the least favorite names for a boy (ranked 600th) but that didn't stop the Torrance located The Strand brewery from naming their pale ale's hoppier cousin Atticus. The IBU is 65 for this IPA and is achieved by Summit, Cascade and Amarillo hops (I'm beginning to list the hops so that I can learn their different tastes and improve my home brewing recipes!).
There is no major aroma and the pale ale body isn't complex but it smooths the hop bite for a balanced mouthful. I like hop complexity and it sticks out from the rest of the IPA pack. It's a solid beer for this competitive gaming Friday night. TRANSFORMERS rating.
