SanTan Devil's Ale

20180617:
I had this beer while at the Barrio Cafe located inside the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

The beer had a hoppy smell. It was crisp and had a strong bite. It had a strong taste.

It's hoppier than most other IPAs.* I enjoy it, but this genre of beer is not my favorite.**

There's a subtle bitterness in the aftertaste. However, the apparent lack of bitterness could just be from my familiarity with beer. 3:03 PM PT

Upon finishing the beer I rated it 3.9 out of 5 stars. 3:59 PM PT

*I'm confused about my notes. First, they indicated that, prior to this sentence, I didn't know the beer's style. It then seems as if I was able to determine that the beer, perhaps via Google, is an IPA. However, the beer is an American pale ale.
**I also don't understand this comment. I thought I like IPAs.
