While 2020 is the year that keeps on giving. It's not the kind of giving we appreciate. Knock it off 2020! As a distraction, we thought we'd remind you of what does continue to give the good stuff. Beer. For example, this proud Northwest style IPA gives a sturdy, balanced malt base and then hop, after hop, after delicious hop.
We start with Loral and Simcoe Cryo hops in the whirlpool for the citrus flavor and grapefruit aromas. Then, (oh yeah!, there's more) we dry hop with Amarillo, Bru-1 and Citra Cryo for more orange, stone fruit and citrus. Now that's the kind of giving we like!
IBU: 63
SRM: 4

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a light to medium golden amber with a two finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of pale malt, citrus and piney hops with a suggestion of mixed fruit, a touch of caramel, orange, lemon and pine; appealing. Flavor is pale malt, citrus, dank and piney hops, orange, lemon, grapefruit, pine and catty dankness. Solid West Coast style bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. I often fined that cyro hops leave me unexcited, but both the Simcoe and Citra hops are great here, with good herbal flavors. These are two of my favorite hops, so I may be biased, but I really liked this one and thought the "handful of hops" illustration on the can was quite apt. Mostly citrus and dank, but a little pine and faint suggestions of mixed fruit. One of the many IPAs that are probably one-offs, but would be repeaters for me if they stuck around. I like it.

16oz can (dated 11/24/20) poured into 14 oz teku. Poured a clean, clear, bright gold color with an inch of white head that decent retention and moderate lacing.
Lots of bright citrusy hops at the front of the nose, with just a bit of earthy grain in the background.
Very similar on the tongue, the hops dominate, but the grain is providing a solid base.
The body was medium for the style, had some hop bite on the back end, and had a semi-sweet finish.
Drinkability was good, i'd drain another.
Overall, a nicely solid "Classic" IPA. Worth trying if you see it.
