This lively IPA delivers a crisp and light malt body with ample citrus and pine notes from Chinook and Equinox hops. Inspired by the aromas and silence we experience when exploring the scenic pine forests just up the road from our brewhouse.

July 4th, 2016 - Pinedrops is potent and powerful, with a fruity and bitter aroma, but hard to pull out of the bottle. Like getting the last drops of syrup from inside, some persistence is rewarded. The flavor is even better, proffering a wonderful blend of sweet hops and spice, with a thick vegetal aftertaste that is botanical and powerful.

"Best by 10/15/15"; drank 7/19/15 @ the Yarchives.
See-through dandelion appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big, fluffy white head; a frothy curtain of lace.
Pine needle, fresh soap & faint banana notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Soap, pine needle & mild caramel flavors up front; boozy bitterness on the finish.
Pickle juice emerged as this warmed.
Not my flavor profile; hopefully this was my last.
