This East Coast-style India Pale Ale is everything you want an IPA to be; floral, hoppy, and bitter. A favorite of staff and regulars alike; try one and you’ll see why.

Had a pint of this from the tap at their brick and mortar with their "cheeseburger chowder" (it was the soup of the day, and I have been known to enjoy a good soup). Lovely lacing, fully opaque straw color. Smells like lemon and pine. Flavor is pine-resin forward. Crisp medium body and delicate carbonation. This is a 4's down the board beer- nothing particularly blew my mind but I would gladly order it again.

Drank this on tap on location. This is an excellent West Coast style IPA - crisp and full of character. Too bad there's no way this stuff will ever make it to Del.
