An intensely hoppy beer that benefits from the atypical use of Belgian yeast to add an unexpected flavor combination that is both interesting, refreshing and undeniably fresh. This is certainly not your usual American IPA and by design, is more inline with the attitudes associated with Lagunitas and Revolution.
Deep Golden with Clean White Head Mildly intense citrus hop nose with a background of fresh grains Bright, fresh and fruity beginning evolves through the hops to a hint of sweetness then fresh grain followed by a pleasantly balanced bitter and refreshing finish Crisp and appropriately effervescent, light Would certainly place in the category of a creative and non-traditional American IPA that is successful without trying to be different for the sake of being different. It is definitely an interesting beer and for those who are adventurous in IPA's, this will not disappoint in its unique, yet undeniably solid, fresh and surprisingly light flavor combination.
