HEAD TO HEAD
Drank From: bottle, poured into a pint glassMad Hatter IPA is a good all around drinker. I could have a few of these without feeling over filled, or worn out by the same taste. It's solid and crisp, and has some floral smells/tastes. The bitterness, sweetness and hops are well balanced. It poured golden with a nice chunky head. I don't know that I would rave about any particular aspect, or grab for this beer with some many others to try, but it is good. I am picking this as the winner in this match-up however, for said reasons below.
My Rating: A-/4.15

Compared to the Mad Hatter, Endo IPA did not have very good head retention or carbonation. It poured red/brown, which I was not expecting. Red ales and lagers aren't usually my favorites, and this beer had the strong malt presence that I associate with red styled beers. It did have a certain woodiness that made it different, so I can appreciate that. My Rating: B/3.65
