Aged on a blend of Dark and Light toasted American Oak, this iteration of our Get Bent Mountain IPA takes on a slight vanilla characteristic from the wood with hints of mango from dry hopping with Equinox hops.

On tap at brewery:
A clear deep golden beer with white head that wants to cover the surface of the beer and glass. The oak comes through on the nose, but spending some time against wood seems to have muted the IPA notes. I am fine with this, but it would be nice if the grapefruit pith I get shared the stage.
Taste has less issue with this, the two aspects of IPA and barrel share the stage initially. The oak does start to push things around, though, turning the grapefruit pith into a bit of a candied orange peel. The warmer the beer gets, the more this becomes a phase, with a pibe/pith bitterness but definitely oak playing together.
There’s a lighter carbonation to this one that leaves the beer feeling nicely sanded by the wood notes. It’s medium bodied and cleans up decently, leaving a noticeable oaky linger that I could see being a sticking point for some.
