So this is an hommage to Bert Grant, who made the first West Coast IPA at Grant's Brewing in Yakima in the early 80s. It wasn't as strong as this is, but it was quite a bit hoppier, more bitter. This is a bit chewy, raisiny, some grapefruit. The hop character isn't bad but the malts are quite gloppy, whereas Grant's IPA was quite lean. Still, this is a part of the story most people don't know anymore.
