  Speaker 2: damn good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It's sweet. It's got a nice sweet taste to it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: And you don't expect that from an IPA. What the fuck?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I've been in the hot tub all day, so I'm
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: all stuffed up because of that fan blowing. We had
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a fan above us, and then we got a fan
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to the left, so now I'm all congested.
• 2:35
