Our flagship IPA is a well-balanced yet aggressive West Coast IPA that showcases Yakima Valley hops at their finest. Late additions of Simcoe®, Citra®, and Mosaic® give this beer its complex citrus, fruity, and floral aroma and flavor. Named for a unique piece of farm equipment that removes hop vines from the trellis during the annual hop harvest, Topcutter IPA delivers loads of hoppiness all year long.

Can at Laďa's humanitarian PNW tasting for Ukraine. Clear golden body, white head. Resin, brown sugar, fennel and herbal notes, lightly fruity. Dry taste, herbal, bitter, citric. Subtle, tasty stuff, with a medium bitterness that gets propped up by the light body to make it seem bigger than it is - within reason though!

The beer I came here to try. Lives up to my expectations as a standout wcipa. Piney, citrus, bitterness, all beautifully balanced. Damn good!

As you’d expect but with a bit of aniseed somewhere.

On tap at Kingston Ale House. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and pine with a hint of resin and light grain backing. Flavor has a nice pine with some growing citrus rind supported by sweet grains and grass underlying.

golden color. Melon, grapefruit, lemon and cracker. Modestly malty palate, but doesn't have as much life as some of their other IPAs. Still not half bad
