Swami’s IPA was first brewed in 1992 to commemorate one of our favorite local surf breaks nestled below a spiritual enlightenment temple that sits on the cliffs above. This West Coast style IPA features a timeless American hop profile of citrus and pine with a crisp balanced finish. It’s a dream come true to be able to share so many pints over time as we all evolve together. Whatever your form of meditation is, we hope that each and every sip contributes to your own self-realization…Cheers!

Poured from a 16 oz can with a canning date of 09/28/2016. Aroma is very hop forward, but with a somewhat old school hop profile. Lots of resin, pine, grapefruit, citrus and a slight, dank, oniony note. Light to medium light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, bright gold color with a medium sized, fairly thick and pillowy, white head that shows good retention as it very slowly recedes to the edges where it lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium light sweetness with a medium light cracker malt note and a hint of biscuit. High bitterness and a light alcohol spiced note. Fairly high hop flavors with a lot of resin, pine and grapefruit. some lighter citrus and dank notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a good clean IPA with a strong old school hop profile. Tons of hop character from the dry hopping. Good alcohol and sweetness to balance the bitterness.
