Loaded with a healthy amount of kettle hops, and boosted with copious quantities of finishing hops and dry hops. A powerful aroma assaults your nose with hints of citrus and pine on the front end, and a bracing bitterness lingers in your mouth through the strong, clean, finish. A firm malt backbone balances with a blend of several of our favorite American hops to make this India Pale Ale a Columbia Falls favorite.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits an inviting hop hazed copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up pine and grassy hops with slender floral, spicy and woody like hops in the background. The taste delivers loads of bitter hops that run straight into resiny notes with pine hops, grassy green woody spicy hops and then it grows into thin modestly sweet malts. It picks up some light juicy and bitter grapefruit like citrus to midway but the spicy woody resiny pine hops are the main players here. This delivers the hops.
