This is a pretty good IPA, well above average. Nice balance with great hoppy finish. Keep an eye out for this one.

32oz grunt purchased at the brewery’s taproom for approximately $7. The weather was so nice I walked there and back – fortunately no winos waylaid me. This replaces the old Riverkeeper. Like it's predecessor, it is brewed to support the efforts of Spokane Riverkeeper, a conservation organization aimed at preserving and improving the Spokane River (by around 1900, the river was pretty much undrinkable, and isn't that much better today). It's a different recipe altogether.
Here's a couple details from the local media:

<edit -this is a little more specific: http://www.spokane7.com/blog/2015/feb/16/water-and-ashes/>
Poured a mostly clear, orange-amber color, with an inch or so of beige colored head. Beer negligee-style lace.
Grapefruity and piney in the nose, in pretty much that order.
Pretty much like the aroma. I think this is more citrusy than the old Riverkeeper recipe, but it’s been a few months since I had the original.
Medium bodied, with a slightly watery mouthfeel. The latter tends to creep into a lot of River City beers.
A decent, citrusy take on the venerable (at least in this part of the country) IPA. I had a sample of this new, reformulated version of River keeper a couple of weeks ago, and I was honestly more impressed. Perhaps the fact that this was a keg that was brought out while I was at the bar impacted things. I will certainly try it again, since this is essentially my neighborhood brewery, and if this does turn out to have been an aberration I will re-review it.
