Shipwreck is a true West Coast style, hop-forward IPA with a little down-under to it. Featuring a unique combination of northern and southern hemisphere hops, Shipwreck is balanced with stone fruit, citrus notes, and a decidedly refreshing finish.

Golden orange, white head. Piney lemony hop nose. Salty fizzy start, lightly astringent. Big lasting bitter hop finish. A solid effort but somewhat unbalanced, needs a touch more malt.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is quite copper malt-heavy with spicy hops equally pronounced. Flavour features spicy, earthy hops, buttery malt to back, with a coppery-metallic tinge to it (but not necessarily in a bad way). Very enjoyable and well-constructed IPA.
