TnDC Field Trip #16 Las Vegas

Currently having a Stone IPA draft at the M Resort. A straight up bitter IPA with a classic white head. Color is a clear light brown and there is a pronounced big C aroma that I can't quite put my finger on. BTW, it's official I'm 4mins into this beer and have hop nose in one of the hottest driest places in America and it's confirmed with a check of the website. 77IBUs, Columbus, Chinook and Centennial so that's 3 big C's. 6.9%abv.

Next up is draft Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA pours a flattening white head with clear dark straw color. Nose is strong sweet pungent pine. It's still hot... 330pm and it's 96F but feels like 91 go figure!! 13% humidity means it's cooler than actual. Sorry for the side note, but I may be having a heat stroke. Website seems to have no current link to this brew but it's good and cold and 6.5%abv.

Now at Veloce Japanese restaurant having CA rolls, Godzilla rolls, Las Vegas rolls and nigiri Red snapper which is on the way soon. We'll be having some sake, Jozen Mizunogotoshi-Junmai Ginjo. Yeah, not sure what to say there, just trying something different with the sushi. All I know is that it's cold and tastes fairly good.
