Opt Outside
Chapman Crafted Beer

 

 

This is straight up "Old School" West Coast IPA. The Cascade and Summit hops really pop with bitter citrus, some pepper and spice. Some onion notes peek in as well. And that's just the nose. Flavor follows suit. While not quite a palate wrecker, this is unabashedly bitter. The citrus sometimes nods in the direction of the lemony Citra but gets pulled right back. And a solid malt base to boot. Mouthfeel is spot on for style.
Overall, this might be too much of a blast from the past for some folks who think they like the old way of doing things and then discover their recent experiences are only tame versions of an assertive Cascade-Summit 1-2. But I love it.
