Some things are too iconic to go out of style. Reliable yet eye-catching, lively but not too intense to break out every day, Windbreaker is the IPA everyone needs in their lineup. A bursting palate of Citra and Idaho 7 brings out tropical notes and a pleasant citrusy quality, with a modest 6.5% and a balanced, refreshing body that encourages sip after sip. Don't be surprised when your friends get jealous of your fridge fashion, just congratulate yourself on having impeccable taste.

440ml can from lowcostbeer.com, a month past BBE. Hazy orange pour, small white head. Aroma has big tropical notes, I'm picking up passionfruit and pineapple, lemon, mild dankness, sweet malts. Taste is very juicy with notes similar to aroma, nice balance between the tropical and citrus notes. A long moderate bitterness offsets some of the sweetness. Medium bodied, mild chewy - its more refreshing than anything, soft carbonation. Very enjoyable.

Pours murky pear into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Passion fruit and guava aromas. Soft with tangerine and passion fruit upfront turning to dry earthy mango peel in the medium length finish.

Big overtime win tonight in a tightly contested playoff game. Unfortunately, had to sit out the last 828 of the third and OT, due to picking up a 2 & a 10 minute misconduct, but a win is a win. DDH goodness. Taste brilliant after the exhilarating victory

Can (8/19/20) pour from a trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque light brown-dark yellow with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple and apricot and bready malt base. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, strong all around.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Lovely dank and citrusy nose with orange pith and zest, pineapple and gummy bear flavors as it warms on the palate. Very crushable. Light pith on the finish with lingering citrus, tangerine and gummy bears.
