Very different tasting IPA with a lovely aftertaste and a very mild taste of grapefruit. Excellent ale.

Simcoe, Citra, Cascade

Label says they’re showcasing Cascade but (fortunately) that’s not quite true - there’s plenty of Citra grapefruit and Simcoe dank pissy pine. There’s also a hit of tobacco leaf going on I don’t like, and it’s a bit thin, too. Better than average but not superb, and not up to 8D’s sky high standards. 3.75
