Some things are too iconic to go out of style. Reliable yet eye-catching, lively but not too intense to break out every day, Windbreaker is the IPA everyone needs in their lineup. A bursting palate of Citra and Idaho 7 brings out tropical notes and a pleasant citrusy quality, with a modest 6.5% and a balanced, refreshing body that encourages sip after sip. Don't be surprised when your friends get jealous of your fridge fashion, just congratulate yourself on having impeccable taste.

6 oz draft pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Looks like a standard NEIPA - hazy, glowing yellow/orange - but the aroma and flavor are sharp, boozy, and overly floral. Some sweet citrus notes, but overall a substandard NEIPA IMO.

Mellow fruity NEIPA. Grapefruit, maybe some mango and peach. A tiny bit of dryness and pith at the end of each sip but still more on the sweet side imo, arguably to the point of blandness. Well done for the style if that's what you like.

Great beer! Nice balance between the fruity aroma and slightly bitter taste. Not too much in either direction - perfect balanced beer for any occasion. Not too strong so more than one would be satisfying.
