7K IPA is brewed way up in Santa Fe, NM, and is a dry, West Coast-ish style IPA with notes of grapefruit, citrus and tropical flavors. The hop profile combines Simcoe and Mosaic with Eldorado and Amarillo playing backup. On the palate, it starts with a touch of caramel malt sweetness that balances out the hops and finishes with a fruity, slightly resinous hop flavor and clean bitterness. It’s fruity and intense with a clean hop profile and leaner malt base than other IPAs. So if you’re searching for the next great IPA, just look up. Higher. No, higher. There we are.

Can. Pour is almost a gusher... not sure what is going on there... foam shoots out the can as soon as it is opened. Aromas and everything else are OK, so no idea what that is all about. Sort of a slightly hazy orange color with aromas of papaya and a bit of resin, a touch of citrus and some dusty grain silo. Flavor is a bit muddled... (maybe this is a batch that just didn't quite turn out?)... A bit more grain presence than I would like, a bit of a lemony hops kick that is almost pith-like and that's about it.
