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.

Pours a nice amber from a can, some lacing. Big fruity aroma, similar flavor although a little thin. Pretty good beer.

Clear golden coloured body with a large, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, fresh picked citrus hops with some tropical fruits and pine, and a good dose of perfume and strong herbal scents. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive fresh hops with a big presence of citrus and tropical fruits, some mellow malt and a light grassy finish, but finishing without bitterness. Aftertaste shows the hops without any bitterness at all - very fresh and clean flavoured with a refreshing finish. Overall, a very nice IPA with a good robust hop profile but without any bitterness - all laid out without super complexities, but it works for this one and the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Pear Delicatessen in Seattle, Washington [State] on 18-February-2016 for US$2,25 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 25-May-2016.

Thanks goes out to my buddy Miles for hooking me up with this Top Cutter IPA from Bale Breaker Brewing Co. A lovely light honey colored with a juicy hop bouquet featuring prickly pear and luscious tropical fruit notes (passionfruit & guava). Fairly full bodied with a sedate raspy carbonation which seems to say "OK boys let’s scrape this tongue clean for the flavor explosion". The taste is sweet fruity hop notes with a mild bitter bite. Very nicely balanced aromatic IPA. This is definitely my kind of IPA big on hops, tons of flavor but the bitterness doesn’t hit you like a slap in the face.

Can courtesy of Prufrockstar, thank you sir! Clear golden color, fluffy white head with good retention and lacing. The aroma hits you as soon as you open the can, with tons of fresh fruit and meadows. Taste is bittersweet stone fruit on a crunchy biscuit background. Delicious.

Amber with a bubbly head. Massive dry hop nose covers up some diacetyl. Some light crystal malts up front. A fair bit of bitterness in the middle, with diacetyl coming in the finish.
