Our flagship IPA born in our founder's garage. This beer has evolved over the years into a perfectly balanced IPA with a 100% Sinagua Malt base and citrus-forward American hops.

Keg at BD Union Sq. It pours hazy orangey with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, citrus peel, orange, tangerine, sherbet, perfumed and candy. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, bitter, minerals, clean, pithy, orange citrus, pine needles, straw, hay and just a touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very drinkable stuff.
