Two Row and Munich malt lay the groundwork for a simple, medium bodied malt profile, while a combination of Northwest and Southern Hemisphere hops add a tropical, citrus bouquet. Let the character of the Northwest enchant your pallet with this quintessential example of what hop country has to offer. Alphadelic IPA, true Northwest.

Can from Neil - thanks! Pours hazy amber gold, small beige head, creamy with good lacing. Aroma is pretty strong pine with a hint of dankness and citrus. Flavor follows, light sweet, medium plus bitter, lots of pine. Fairly harsh. Medium body. Would be good if you like strongly bitter beers.

12 fluid ounce can from Appellation Wines. Pours clear gold, light hop haze maybe, thick white head. Aromas of hop resin, citrus, pine, green with hops. Taste is bitter, pith, peel. Really good bitterness. Bitter finish. Faint caramel at the back, but otherwise a big hop party.
