Bravo, Cascade, Bravo hops here. A pretty legit IPA, more bitterness than typical, nice depth underneath that. Classical IPA everyone yearns for.

Sampler at Lucky Monk. Still holds a short head after waiting 40 minutes in my sampler tray. A reddish-brown body, but pretty clear otherwise. Some Centennial and Cascade to my nose, before I read the description, anyway. Rather clean taste, and clean in the accidental snootful I got when sniffing it. Turns into an assertive hoppiness with citrus and pine, but it also has basic hop bitterness on the back end. A potent ale finish.
