This IPA follows in line with the other single hop IPAs we have made, such as Simcoe IPA and Saphir IPA beer. Selected in 1961 and released in 1974 by the USDA, Comet was originally utilized for its high alpha acid content and adaptability to growing conditions in the Yakima Valley. Commercial production ceased in the early 1980s in favor of newer super-alpha hops, however, Comet has made a recent comeback, finding favor with some brewers in dual purpose applications for its subtle and unique, "wild American" aroma.

Growler from brewery into a tulip. Another single hopped IPA that I love from Blackfoot. It's really dank, piney with a little tropical citrus, to start and very dry and bitter to finish. I had only had one IPA with comet hops before and didn't think I would love this...It was its really good! The taste will linger for awhile. You get the best of both worlds with the dank tropical, and bitterness all in one.
