Beer: Jai Alai India Pale Ale

Brewery: Cigar City, Tampa

Notes: It almost feels like Cigar City brews this just for me. It's hoppy and fruity and quite bitter with notes of malt sweetness. Try to get bottles less than a month old (the date is stamped on the label) for the full tropical-fruit hop flavors that tend to fade after a few weeks. Just writing about it gets me salivating.

Have you had this beer? Let me know what you thought in the comments below.

Dear Jeanmarie,Thanks so much for the comment on our blog entry about Valentedn Aguirre.Your great-grandfather was a GIANT in the Spanish ciolnoa, as he helped thousands of people settle in the US, find work, etc.For a long time now I have been trying to find more documentation about Valentedn Aguirre family documents, photos, etc. to no avail.
