Collaboration between Black Plague, Birdhouse & Tony Hawk himself. Brewed with Simcoe and Amarillo hops for a resinous pine foundation balanced with an outstanding aroma of orange citrus and hints of fresh grapefruit from the Citra and Centennial used in the dry-hop.

Interesting, a fairly classical West Coast IPA sans the bitter finish, offering up mild notes of caramel and grapefruit zest, underlined by mandarin and a little peach. Wet malt funkiness becomes more prominent as the pint warms, which doesn't couple all that well with the modest pine bitterness on the back end, creating a somewhat cloy vein in the fade. Not quite Pro Skater 5, but not quite Pro Skater 2, either.

Can. Amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light summer fruit favor with malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and light summer fruit linger with light sweet malt.
