Since I didn’t drink any actual Warped Wing beer during my
most recent visit to their establishment, I figured that I owed it to them
to at least partake in one of their beers at some point 
during my Brewvet
antics. And, since there is no time like the present, I decided to fit this
beer in while doing some other errands, between school and lunch and home and
the likes. As you can tell by my repetitive route, I didn’t get far, but
had fun going over the same streets again and again. Oh, and my afternoon pit stop was at Jimmy

Today’s Brewvet selection is TresCarnales, a Pan American IPA. I can already here you asking: “Pan American IPA?
What pray tell is that?” Lucky for you, I can cut and paste like a pro: “Once upon a time in Mexico 3
brewers met. They shared a common passion. Their love for exceptional craft
beer. Over time the brewers became good friends. One day they decided to put
their collective beer knowledge together. Their quest was to create 1
truly outstanding beer. Introducing Tres Carnales. 3 minds. 3 friends. 1 beautifully 
crafted beer.” Everyone loves a backstory,
right? But wait, there is more: “With the perfect blend of American and Mexican brewing influence
this Pan American IPA is pale orange with copper highlights. The hop character
explodes with Mandarin orange aromatics and resinous pine undertones. All from
copious amounts of Mandarina Bavaria and Centennial hops. The malt character
is slightly bready. You’ll find mild hints of sweet and tart from the addition
of select Blue Agave and Hibiscus flowers. The finish is dry with an assertive
yet elegantly refined bitterness from German Magnum hops.” The hibiscus
and blue agave flower elements are more subdued than I would like—they get lost
a bit in the malt and hop components—and the resin hops flavors and aromas out compete the
softer, subtler orange ones, but this is a tasty and drinkable beer.

Today’s ride was all of 6.2
miles. Bit longer than some, bit shorter than others. But same final result:
beer. I win.
