It's Tug Time!
A fruity, fun IPA with Simcoe and Citra hops giving you a big, juicy toot-toot... and a proprietary blend in the dry-hopping for that extra sassiness you crave.

Another review from an afternoon at this place the first week of June 2023. Went lagers first, moved on to the ales.
Pours golden with just the lightest hint at a slice of amber in it. 1/5" white head. The aroma seemed like a lot of Citra hops. Fleshy orange. For having Simcoe as well, this one didn't really smell of Simcoe, just lots of Citra. Sweet citrus.
The taste was much the same way, despite its appearance, there was so much Citra, this west coast ipa tasted just as much like a hazy with its subdued bitterness, not something you usually see with Simcoe as a bittering hop. Middle of the road barley weight on this one. Has a definite orange juiciness to both the smell, taste and mouthfeel. Lacked the twang of the prior beer (Superliner). As it warms, the Simcoe comes out a little more in the mouth feel, but its more of the bittering Simcoe than those new ones.
The name is kind of funny too. I liked the beer enough.

Light amber (almost yellow) in color with a lasting chill haze. A hint of florals and pine in the aroma. Big on the bitterness up front with hints of light fruit and a touch of caramel as well. Light in body.
Just another IPA.
