Harkening back to the punk ethos of 1977 with the 3 "C’s"; Cascade, Chinook and Centennial, this is what an American IPA used to be.

Poured up on tap at the brewing where it exhibits a clear copper body that has thin golden hues and supports a dirty white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up spicy, floral, woody floral hops and then a thin grapefruit like citrus hoppy note. The taste delivers loads of good old school hoppiness with bitter spicy, floral, woody and then more floral hoppiness. Toward midway a modest malt sweetened citrus hop flavor sensation is noticed as the woodiness picks up a minty sort of facet to it. Pretty dange nice. Full on hop bitterness.

On tap at the brewery. A bit orange with a white head. Fresh and hoppy with citrus, some pineapple, biscuits and ligth malt. The body was medium and the finish quite bitter. A pleasant one.
