This West Coast/Rocky Mountain-style India Pale Ale is back-hopped for a more intense hop bitterness, flavor and aroma without the balance of caramel malts like our Midwest-style Baldock IPA. It has medium-high alcohol content, high fruity, floral and citrus-like American-varietal hop character, deep golden color and medium maltiness.

Tight fluffy white head stayed on an unclear pale golden body. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with smoother back. Grapefruit, pith, peach, mango, pale malt & confectionery tastes.

On tap at Hops & Craft, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt, vegetal notes, and herbal hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with herbal hops, vegetal notes and biscuity malt. Too vegetal in the hop expression. Not convincing.

NOK IPA with a nice thick fluffy head and Good Hop Aroma but not a lot of hop flavor. Somewhat balanced with a little bit of sweetness to offset the bitterness but still just not a lot of hop flavor which is a pity. Decent body and finish.
