Head High is our interpretation of an American-style India Pale Ale (IPA). This beer is all about the hops; we use a blend of five different varieties all grown in the Pacific Northwest. A small charge of Chinook and Columbus early in the boil adds a smooth bitterness. A majority of the hops are then added late in the kettle or post-fermentation to produce a beer that is heavy on hop flavor and aroma. The combination of Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Columbus give Head High a noticeable grapefruit flavor with aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Our house American ale yeast ferments to a dry finish that accentuates the use of imported Pilsner and lightly kilned crystal malt resulting in Head High’s straw color and crisp flavor.

Beer rating #1972 - my birth year! Growler from dmac. Pours clear golden orange color with off white head. Aromas of grapefruit and tropical fruits. Bitter grapefruit rind flavor with some mango and a hint of sweet malts. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a slighly dry finish. Quite enjoyable. Thanks Dave.
