Tap Handle #192: Blue Point - Hoptical Illusion IPA

I really, really love this tap. It's got a Freemason-meets-mysticism-meets-the-70's kind of feel to it (how's that for strange?). It took two tries to get because the first one I bought arrived broken, but it all worked out since I got the second at a great price. The detail and coloring is fantastic!

Hoptical Illusion is an IPA featuring a rare hop grown exclusively on a small farm in Oregon. It is brewed with a generous amount of this select hop that is added five different ways for maximum hop flavor. The delicious, resiny, citrus-burst is the “Essence of the Hop” which is balanced by a malty backbone yielding an intense, golden ale. Recommended food pairings are Thai curry, peppery cheeses, poultry, and fish. Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 3.44 out of 5.
