Draft pour pint at Red Hook, Woodinville. Making a few stupid here lately while I still have the chance. I’m going to miss being able to travel two minutes from work to try some Crandall handles. A dark copper pour with plenty of foam head and lacing. A sweet malt constant here on aroma and flavor. The hops are really bitter and balances it out. A little fruit to pair with the malt on the nose. Cool finish. A ton of flavor going on. Far from a boring IPA, that’s for sure. Overall this was pleasant. The sweet seems to barely outlast the bitterness, which remains my only real complaint about this IPA.
