TOTAL DOMINATION IPA
TONIGHT IS FOR ANNA- YOU TOTALLY DOMINATE!!!
12 FLUID OUNCES., 6.7 ALC % BY VOL
Brewed and Bottled by Ninkasi Brewing Company, Eugene, Oregon

FROM THE LABEL: " A Hoppy, Floral and exceptionally Balanced Northwest IPA. Multiple hops collide in balanced perfection, dominating the senses, achieving total satisfaction. From the Pacific Northwest birthplace of the modern IPA, comes a beer whose name says it all.
 
The ancient Sumerians worshipped the beer they made, and praised the Goddess Nikasi for the miracle of fermentation. Beer is a staple of civilization. WORSHIP THE GODDESS."
 
FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN IPA: Bought this beer for the name; they need some help with their labels! Interesting beer- starts out fruity citrus (apricotish) then stops point blank and turns into bitter, slight (very slight)  coriander hop, ends with a wipe out your mouth dry tang.....like what foil does to your teeth when it hits one of your metal fillings. Feels a bit disjointed. I thought the hops were nice and bitter but nowhere near "total domination." I like the story on the label but the beer falls short of the miracle. B
 
FROM THE STORE: Huckleberry's in Spokane WA ( Pretty cool place- has over 500 beers on sale in their beer display.- I call it a beer art gallery. You can buy them individually-sweet.)
 
FOR ANNA:
 
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
