An english-style IPA with earthy, herbal hop notes, well-balanced by bready malt.
Why does the world need another IPA? Because this one ain't like them others. We use hops of a different color, earth and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch.

Warm caramel butterscotch, grassy herbaceous hops. Flavor is bready, lightly hopped with floral and herbal accents, balanced finished. Lingering caramel and spice. Semi-dry finish, a little nuttiness perhaps, with a rising hop bitterness at the finish. Clean fermentation profile, it seems. Overall crisp and easy drinking, balanced. Light amber color, modest head.

Flaske fra Kihoskh: blant de mange stilarter amerikanske bryggere eksellerer i, er ipa og apa sentrale. Denne apekatten er snadder, og jeg slutter meg til måteholdsfolket ønske (fra slutten av 1800-tallet) om å bruke opplysningens makt til å vende folket bort fra dårlige drikkevaner. Frem for det gode øl!

Bottle at home, this wasn’t a great beer in my opinion, forgot to make notes, but this beer wasn’t that special, even though the shop owner highly recommended it... last time i will listen to shop owners.

Mocna wersja IPA ale w Angielskim stylu. Bardzo zblizona do amerykanskiej. Wiadomo inne chmiele ale i tak tu sporo goryczy i chmielu w tle. Troche biszkoptowego posmaku ale wytrawne dosc mocno. Piana prawie nie zauwazalna. Tego sie nie spodziewalem po Left Hand.

On tap at Tadg’s. It poured a great golden color with a head of thick white foam. actually, it was lighter than many IPAs... It had a piney/citrusy aroma & flavor which was not overpoweringly hoppy. I found it very nicely balanced. A solid IPA but not for those looking for a hop bomb.
