Show Beer

* https://www.shortsbrewing.com/beers/huma-lupa-licious/* Brewer’s Notes – Huma Lupa Licious’ name derives from the hop plant, Humulus lupulus. Brewed with five different hop varieties recognized for their citrus, floral, piney, and earthy qualities, Huma is known for having an intense bitterness that is balanced by a rich malty flavor. A citrus and floral aroma complements the unique qualities of Short’s flagship India Pale Ale. Huma Lupa Licious is truly a complex hop and malt theme park in your mouth.* 7.7%ABV* 70IBU* 91 (Outstanding) on Beer Advocate* SOOOO Tasty!

What a difference a week, and some warmer weather, makes. A no longer frozen MKE River. That’s Sven’s Schlick 650b Road-plus ride right there. Road Fat you could say.
