True to its name, Cascade, Centennial, Crystal and Simcoe create a citrusy hop confluence that continuously embiggens with each drink. The embodiment of our brewing philosophy to “Never Give An Inch”.

Classic IPA, citrusy, almost tangerine, gorgeous flavor and a bit bitter.

Pours a rich, malty caramel color. Low aroma, with lots of C-hop notes as it warms and opens. On the sip I get citrus—orange, mostly, and some grapefruit peel—along with pine. Hits the spot for lovers of classic IPAs.

A good, smooth IPA, but nothing to write home about. The texture is a little thin. Fairly complex, not too bitter, with a bold fruity/citrus smell I noticed right away, and a flavor to match. A step up from what Pyramid and Widmer Bros have to offer.

Has a nice copper color, a thin head but nice lacing. Smells nice but not very hoppy. Taste follows the nose and isn’t strong with the hops. It’s smooth as silk and drinks easily. It’s a good IPA. On tap at Ron’s Corner Tavern. Revisiting 5/26/2020 with a 500 ML bottle dated ??/??/19 illegible but It smells less hoppy and more like a can of fruit syrup. The taste is hoppy and slightly sweet. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Overall I think it's better than I originally thought and It's not unheard of that some IPA's age very well. I'd buy more.
