Getting My Beer On With A Sun King SKB IPA And A Cigar

Saturday afternoon and I decided to stop at one of our local bar restaurants, Buffalo Bobs, and grab an SKB IPA from Sun King Brewing and enjoy it with a nice cigar as we had a break in the weather. Moreover, a nice beer this one proved to be as well, coming in at 6.5% ABV and even 70 IBU this beer offered a nice smoothness. There was a good crisp clean feel to the beer with some excellent clarity and bubble action. A good feel of the citrus hops came out in both the aroma and flavor and overall provided a decent feel. This beer is definitely one that I would recommend for any IPA fan. Check out my video to see and hear more on this one.
