Like many good things, 10K IPA was the result of a bet. Our Co-Founder offered our Brewmaster $10,000 to brew an IPA that got higher ratings than one of the notoriously best IPAs in the world. Our Brewmaster claims he never got that $10,000, but the beer world got an incredibly big and bold IPA, exploding with Simcoe hop flavor and just the right amount of malt sweetness.

Draught at SKAAL. Clear amber golden colour with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, caramel malts, grasses and a lightly toasted note. Taste is bitter. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with grasses and citrus fruits, caramel malts. Nice IIPA.

32oz crowler pours with a clear deep gold body that has a copper core and supports an off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up citrus juice, citrus peel and then a thin mango and onion danky spiciness. The taste delivers Simcoe juicy citrusy hoppy yum. There's a blend of tangelo, grapefruit, mango and a sliver of tangerine. Beneath the citrusy hop notes are thin layers of earthy spicy onion hop bitterness as well as a mild sweet malt and faint bready sensation. Solid. Super crushable for the ABV.
