An American IPA, Primal Instinct exhibits the best qualities of American-grown hops. We’ve blended five different malts to create a strong malt backbone and complemented them with five flavorful hop varieties, including hand-harvested Cascade hops grown in our very own hopyard. This blend imparts robust aromatic and tasting notes of tropical citrus and resiny pine.

Draft at Beer Run. Pours a clear golden with a thin creamy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of candied citrus and bready malt. The taste is citrus, tropical hops, crackery malt. Medium bodied. Solid.
