Rescue is an inspired blend designed to revive the taste buds. We’ve unleashed more than a pound of leaf and pellet hops per barrel, lending a clean, crisp finish. Rescue IPA is particularly good with spicy food, especially curry and Mexican flavors. Try it with a sweet dessert like creme brulee.

Flavor: Intense hop flavor with strong grapefruit characteristics
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Victory
Hops: Columbus, Centennial, Cascade
Bitterness Units: 53

This is a fine beer but didn't really do anything for me.

It's balanced, not another super IBU hop monster the name might lead you to believe.

My friend Rich Pawlak was having orgasms over it, so don't take my opinion as definitive.

Medium caramel color with sweet malt aroma and pine on the nose with a little bit of spicy citrus. Starts with sweet caramel malt up front and stays sweet until 70% through where just a touch of citrus pokes through along with a slow building, agressive, piney bite finish. Medium body with course carbonation pricklies. This is old school IPA right here folks, just like the good 'old days!

Very excited to taste upon first look, but was a little disappointed. Highly carbonated and lacked a distinctive hoppy finish. The taste did not stand up to the rich caramel color of this brew.
