You think you know good IPA? We do too, and this one’s it. This is a straightforward, full-throttle, American IPA—nothing fancy here; just hop flavor and lots of it. Its hazy blonde malt body has just enough heft to carry the citrus and floral hop notes straight to your palate making Know Good perfect for today, or any day. When it comes to IPA, we know what good is.

This pours a crystalline clear tan. Light aroma. Classic west coast hop profile with hints of tropical fruit notes. Light malt makes this go down easily.

Appearance: light hazy golden yellow in color with a nice 1" head that produces some thick lace.

Smell: floral and citrus tones are detectable by the nose.

Taste: caramel, grapefruit, pine, lemon zest, pear, and a floral bitterness rounds it out.

Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp from start to finish. Some dryness arrives late.

Overall: another well balanced and nicely flavorful IPA from Sierra Nevada.

Piney and delicious. Finally a beer that is piney but not overly bitter. For all you citrus ipa drinkers hating on pine notes. . .please try. It's amazing

Pours a hazy gold color. 2/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and decent lacing. Smells of piney hops, slight floral hops, and citrus hops, slight resin, and slight sweet malt. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is sharp and clean, with an average carbonation level. There is an elevated bitterness. Tastes of slight piney hops, citrus hops, hint of resin, sweet malt, and a hint of tea. Overall, fresh hop aroma, good appearance, simple, decent blend and body.
