New (for me) RR IPA. Pours a pale gold, crystal clear. I get that classic west coast aroma with lots of grapefruit notes. Big bitterness and citrus flavors. Clean and crisp with a drying finish.

On tap at Russian River Brewing Co

T: Bright, tropical fruit, pineapple, leads, a little passion fruit, mango, and peach, citrus zest, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, a touch of peppery spice from the rye, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
M: Light to medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: Another solid IPA from Russian River.

Solid IPA, but lets be honest its RR so of course it was. I made the mistake of having this after Younger so I had to take a growler for later. Beautiful golden color thick white head, not a big hoppy aroma on this one but a good beer for sure.

Solid new IPA from RRBC. First batch. One of the few beers Vinnie has used Citra Hops in. Citra & Laurel (new hop?) Rye addition as well.
First thought was what I'd describe as a bigger version of their Dribble Belt session IPA. Lite bite of spice from the rye. Lighter tropical notes including lemon, pineapple and faint mango citrus, all complimented by their Classic Russian River house profile. Citrus balanced out very well with that tahoe pine forest, as most do. Clean. Dry. The Citra could have had a wee bit of a bigger presence in this one, but now I'm getting knit picky. Still a very citrus driven IPA. Another well done IPA from the fine folks at RRBC.
