Our ever faithful house IPA born from both the necessity of what we had to work with, and what we had to do. Brewed with a softer grist of North American 2 Row and Malted Wheat, fermented with our expressive house ale yeast, and dry hopped with a focus on the Falconers Flight hop blend, this beer delivers on balanced hop and yeast character of brighter citrus, orange pine marmalade, and stone fruit cohesion.

Tap. Tap list mentions centennial and Columbus, no Moteuka. Hmmm. Pours quite hazy golden, medium creamy off white head, dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is pine resin, grapefruit pith, hints of lemon. Super old school, this one. Flavors is light plus sweet, light bitter, juicy, piney, hella grapefruit. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Touch of lingering bitterness. Really well crafted and a nice reminder that old school IPA hops can still produce an excellent beer. Kudos.

Draft at 2014 Virginia IPA Challenge: Orange and lemongrass nose. Hazy amber, thin head. Orange and lemongrass flavor, slight presence of DMS. Soft carbonation, medium body. Quaffable and enjoyable despite a minor flaw.
