This light copper-colored IPA is brewed and dry hopped with all Chinook hops for a resinous/piney punch. The malt bill is made up with oats, wheat and crystal malts to give a balance to the Chinooks hops’ aggressive nature.

Very nice flavorful new IPA sampled on tap at Founders. Nice medium-dark golden color with a little head and sheets of lingering lacing. Smells great, nice citrus fruity and floral hops. Tastes of citrus zest hops, floral hops and some pine. Also has caramel, vanilla and a nice malt backbone. Perfect amount of bitterness. Smooth mild mouthfeel that’s slightly creamy. Great carbonation. Just a little alcohol taste but otherwise the high ABV is very well hidden. Hopefully they keep this one and release it to stores!
