We wanted to brew a powerful, aroma- and flavor-forward IPA. One that really packed a punch—that was electrifying. We took our learnings from a multitude of different beers and combined them into a premium IPA. One that is the expression of what we believe IPAs can be. As for the name? Our production brewery is opposite a major substation. It provides the power to our beers. So we thought it fitting that this beer pays homage to those roots.

On tap at Brewers Haven. Softly dull yellow pour with a thin dense white head and lacing. Smooth mellow citrus and subtle piney go character. Full smooth palate.

On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours a clear dull golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite dank in the hop department, followed by pine, and crips biscuity malt. Flavour is mega-dank, with intense pot-like hops, some pine, light mineraly notes, and gentle allium. Very dank, with a thin malt backbone. A bit too oily and mineraly on the palate, but it's solidly made.
