Crafted for those who enjoy the aromatic and hoppy nature of IPAs but are pining for a lower ABV, Ninkasi introduces Easy Way IPA. A dynamic medley of hops and a crisp, satisfying finish define this unexpectedly sessionable IPA. The big, fruity hop nose and toasted malt flavor are anything but ordinary, offering a beer that is both aromatic and drinkable. With an ABV of 4.7%, this beer is for those ready to break the routine and go the Easy Way.

refreshing beer, slight bias for the nice kick from the pnw hops but overall pretty solid beer!

Part of a sampler 12-pack. 3 bottles of 4 different beers.
Pours a pale gold color, clear, with a wispy white head.
Smell is a lot of pine scent with a little wet grain aroma.
Taste is a pine flavor, with a little citrus taste. Not much on the malt side.
Mouthfeel is light and clean, but incredibly dry. A very dry pine aftertaste.
Overall an OK IPA. It's a little short on flavor, with a very dry character. Ninkasi has better offerings.
