Flipside is an easy-drinking IPA with the perfect balance between hops and malt. It features just enough smooth and slightly sweet malt body to support huge citrusy and tropical fruit-forward hop flavors from Simcoe, Citra, and Centennial hops.

Bottled. Red brown pour. Bit of citrus on top of bread malts. Pretty decent. Nothing else here.

Bottle. One of the better IPAs out there. Deep amber color, nice head and a lot of lace. Aroma is a fruity, spruce smell. Taste is a grapefruit, pine taste that is not as bitter as most. One of the better one’s out there.

Mills River. Frothy, stiff cream head. Chill hazed pour, clearing up into a red copper pour. Whipped cream & soft pithy nose. Buttery cracker upfront, super mellow pine, lingering citrus pith, soft cold creme sweetness, slight char on the finish; pedestrian bitter. Thin, crispy, a bit oily. Feels like a thinner, watered down version of OB Old Chub.

Dark red copper color with a mild grapefruit aroma. Long lasting head. Taste starts with sweet caramel malt and finishes like a typical IPA with lingering bitterness.
