Ninkasi Total Domination IPA

22oz bottle. 6.7%abv.

"Total Dom" -- as the locals call it -- is the more drinkable IPA cousin of their Tricerahops double IPA reviewed earlier. This regular IPA is every bit as good, it's just significantly lighter and easier to drink.

The aroma is similarly "420"-esque, just a bit less of it. Flavor is light and crisp balanced toward hops. Malt is there, but is definitely secondary.

Mouthfeel is correspondingly light with a slight creaminess and solid bitter finish.

While I think I like Tricerahops better, Total Domination is definitely the more drinkable of the two, and would be the preferred beer to have a six pack of on a warm summer day.
