Bad Shepherd’s first beer is the Bitter Santa, a big-time dry-hopped red IPA that portends more hoppy things to come. Bitter Santa features Equinox and Azacca, two of the newer hop varieties, that when dry-hopped, provide lots of fruit and little bitterness. While there are some nicely toasted malts included, they are modest in impact. The hops are definitely the star here.

Draught @ the source. Cloudy amber with very small frothy off-white head, citrus aroma, medium carbonation, biter hoppy taste, thin body, long hoppy finish. Well done first brew!
