Brewed in honor of the Air National Guard 104th Fighter wing out of Barnes Airport located next to our Westfield brewery. A heavy dry hop of Citra and Strata hops create juicy flavors of bright citrus and strawberry.

Appearance: Arrives a cloudy golden color with a two finger head; good retention and shards of lacing hang around
Smell: Pineapple and orange pith aromatics with a hint of shortbread
Taste: Vague pineapple tones with just a hint of shortbread malt; through the middle and into the finish, there is a very austere citrus pith flavor that emerges to dominate; the finish is dry and moderately bitter
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: This is one of the driest NE IPAs I have encountered in a long time
