102. Sun King (Indianapolis, IN) - Hoppiness Jones

“Hoppiness Jones is an IPA aged in both Pinot Noir and Tequila barrels with hibiscus. The beer is part of our tenth anniversary collaboration four pack—10-4 Good Buddy—and was brewed with our friends at Rhinegeist.”

The wine and the tequila play nicely off of each other up front, but it’s very bitter on the back end. It’s an interesting mix of flavors, but that lingering bitterness keeps it sitting in the interesting section, trying to see around the beers in front of it in the enjoyable section.
