Cottonwood Endo IPA


I have to admit, I am a sucker for a good IPA (just look at my reviews so far). I tend to gravitate towards beers with heavy hops and a nice bitter bite to them. So is it any surprise I picked up and consumed and very much enjoyed Cottonwood's ENDO? It is from a brewery in Mooresville, Carolina Beer and Beverage Company (they also make Carolina Blonde). Oh, and I kept wondering why the King on the label had a bike helmet on, well here's what the website said: “Endo” is a term mountain bikers use for going “over the handlebars,” and we feel that once you try this IPA you will agree that we definitely went over the top with the hops.

Indo (with an 'i')is also a term Snoop Dogg uses for weed. I was hoping for a better buzz from this beer.

I just moved from Syracuse NY to the Mooresville NC area and must say this is the best beer I've found in the area. There's a bar/restaurant in Davidson called the Brickhouse and they serve this Endo IPA at the right temp to make it one of the better IPAs I've had.
