We put a new twist on a customer favorite! This Brut IPA is impossibly dry, delightfully effervescent, and saturated with exquisite hop aroma. We added Vidal blanc grape juice to the brew to give it a vinous flavor.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish pure white head. Aroma of pure white grape juice with a deep tart and floral note along with some grass and a touch of pure fructose - this is definitely fruity, in perhaps a good way, without any hops in the nose. Light-bodied; Dry and floral flavour at first with a deep grassy and perfumey kick that shows a ton of white grape juice, some lighter herbs and a dose of tart grapefruit on the finish, but a relatively easy-drinking, simplistic beer that doesn't show any of the hops - just the fruit. Aftertaste shows some more dry flavours, a touch of malt and grain, but the white grape and foral notes dominate throughout - nice and crispy/dry, but this shows way more of a saison than an IPA. Overall, a good enough beer that has some identity issues, but shows good qualities in terms of grapes, but not with the hops - and this is a pretty sub-par 'Brut IPA', but interesting to try. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop on 24-January-2019 for US$4,29 sampled at my house here in Washington, just a few days later on 04-February-2019.
