Our winter IPA is a garnet-hued celebration of the NW IPAs of yore. Expect a balanced beer showcasing hop aromas of grapefruit and piney resin set against a toasty malt backbone and crisp bitterness.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. Canned 12/4/22; the label calls this a "celebration of the NW IPAs of yore".
Appearance: very dark amber, almost brown hue, with a moderate haze and a thick finger of ivory foam with a bit of an amber cast. Perhaps even darker than the IPAs of yore, but intriguing!
Smell: biscuity malt with a little toasty character and a bit of yeastiness. Reminds me of what would once have been marketed as an "India Red Ale" or "red IPA". Not entirely to my liking, but not bad.
Taste: earthy and bitter right up front, with a slightly dank character bordering on smokiness. A very deep, rich flavor; this has a very Cascadian Dark Ale character to it. It's still a bit biscuity, but overall I quite like it.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a nice creaminess indeed.
Overall: it's interesting. This is a beer with a style dimension that is not my favorite -- red IPA -- but it's exceedingly well executed. The only thing wrong with this beer is that my palate is not sophisticated enough to love it.
