Just over halfway through, so still a few days to go.  I have another small series in line &#8211; Arriaca.  It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve enjoyed an Arriaca, they used to be a little more present in the craft beer bars, being from nearby Guadalajara.  Now, they&#8217;re easier to find canned on a supermarket shelf.  Good for them, although it does make you wonder about their craft cred.  I haven&#8217;t seen anything that shows them &#8220;selling out&#8221; at all, or doing collaborations that might tarnish their name, like some of our early craft friends.  They have changed up the cans and modernized the labels a little, but it looks like pretty standard fare.  They&#8217;re a brewery that always went for a quality known style rather than being overly experimental.  Somebody has to do it!  I&#8217;m starting simple this, with their IPA.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1603\" style=\"width:335px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190644-scaled-e1755637076722.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-nv-text-dark-bg-background-color has-background\">It looks like just the thing you want in an IPA, very clear, dark gold, abundantly headed.  Quite a few bubbles decorate the sides of the glass, without obscuring the clarity.  It also has the modern classic aroma, tropical citrus hops.  It&#8217;s much maltier on the tongue than I expected, adding a touch of honey to the buzzy bitter.  It has a pretty robust body on it, although there isn&#8217;t a lot of aftertaste or odd sensations left behind.  There&#8217;s kind of a sugar cookie flavor to it, albeit one without that much sugar.  It&#8217;s a striking example of the 21st century IPA, while still having nods to the historical style.  It makes me wish Arriaca was more easily found on tap.  Or hell, in a fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1602\" style=\"width:285px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8190645-scaled-e1755637112281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My world tour might be over but my month of beer is not.
