A bold IPA in the modern, West Coast style, but with plenty of malt character from our robust Maris Otter. Generous quantities of Columbus and Cascade hops give this bitter beer resinous, piney, and citrus-like flavors while a bit of Czech Saaz hops adds a touch of spice.
Malts: floor-malted Maris Otter,
caramalt, wheat; flaked barley, malted rye
Hops: Columbus; Cascade; Saaz, dry-hopped with Cascade
Food Pairings: assertive, spicy foods, grilled salmon & shrimp, pizza.

Draft at the brewpub. Rather citrus aroma with a touch of resin. Slightly hazey dark gold color with a filmy head. Medium body; mild carbonation. Starts slightly fruity malty, then wham with really strong mixed hop profile. Finishes darn bitter. Tasty. Better than many.

(On tap) Clear, pale, amber golden with a dense, off-white head. Discreetly citric nose. Fairly full-bodied with some caramel malt and then extreme accents of pine - this is almost resinated! Dry and bitter finish. 210307

Tap. Light reddish golden ale with a nice floral hops aroma. Good floral hops and subdued malts. Very organic, with an oily mouthfeel. Good body. (June 2004).
