7 Day Beer Challenge Day #2: The Beer That Should Not Be
<center>

Day 2 is upon is!!! I come to you with another new Hop Butcher beer! After those last 3 worked out so well, my faith in this brand has flourished. This is called “The Beer That Should Not Be”
I couldn't disagree more, it definitely should be!

It is described as a “Medusa, Mosaic, and Hallertau-Blanc Hopped Double India Pale Ale” That’s quite the hop profile! Mosaic delivers huge on tropical flavor, mangoes, and the tart citrus flavor of passion fruit. Medusa, a very new hop on the scene brings a lot of dank aromatics, bursts of guava, melon, and also citrus. The Hallertau is a surprising choice but mixes well, offering some grassy and herbal notes, white wine and elderberry tartness and acidity. I am also getting a little grapefruit and pineapple. Someone basically canned a fruit basket!

It’s pretty bitter, and the bite offers some complexity to the beer overall. If not for a little upfront bitterness, this may have just tasted like a bunch of fruitiness. Very cloudy, but I am not sure if it is from lots of dry-hopping, probably a lot of hops in the boil along with a clever choice of yeast.

Last but not least, combining beer night with a cool retro game. I decided to buy the game “Operation.” My wife and I were just talking about how annoying and stressful this game was when we were young, so I bought it so we could relive the torment! There are little bones you need to take out of a small space with tweezers without touching the edges. Game night must commence, thank you for joining me on the 2nd day of this beer challenge!

I nominate @bigskycustoms for the 7 day beer challenge!
