India pale ale, brewed and dry hopped with a selection of our favorite hops: Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado. Tropical and dank with a lingering bitterness.

Pours light golden with a little bit of haze, hoppy herbal nose, sweet citrisy on the palate. Smooth finish.

A: Pours a clear medium copper in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate honey + medium golden yellow + burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of medium thick film covering a little more than 85% of the surface of the beer as well as a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit pith, tropical/mango, stone fruit/apricot, and pine hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of toasted + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit pith, tropical/mango, stone fruit/apricot, and pine hops which impart a moderate amount of aggressive bitterness which lingers for quite a while.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Lightly crisp upfront with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp + refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable old school west coast style IPA with more classic hop flavors + aromas and pleasant aggressive bitterness.
