Lots of raw hop power thanks to big American hops, but unlike most beers said to be west coast it doesn't offend you with bitterness. Inspired by our other aftertaste heavy beer Mount Olympus, only more aggressive and lower ABV. Sunset orange clear hue and a resinous piny grapefruit taste.

Tap at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Pours a dark gold with thin white top. Slightly rustic grain noted IPA with marmalade, stone fruits, pine, grass. Not exactly punchy but quite pleasant. Went down well on a session out.
