Old school meets new school in this fresh approach to the classic IPA. At 50 IBU’s and 6.7% ABV, Breaking Bud features the restrained bitterness and alcohol of a classic IPA with newer tropical fruit hop flavors and aromas of Mosaic. Also in the hop mix are Simcoe and CTZ, creating layers of mango, passion fruit, pine and dank. A malt bill with a pinch of crystal malt and a hefty dose of flaked wheat keeps the beer crisp while adding flavor complexity. Cheers to the past, present and future!

From a 473ml can on 8/8/2025. Pours an ultra clear golden with a medium head. The nose features lots of fresh pine and citrus. Tastes of lemon, orange, grapefruit, grass with some light tropical notes, against a light caramel malt and biscuit background. with a moderate to firm dank pine resin bitterness at the back. A very nice WC.

Very good, fresh traditional American IPA. Aromas are a mix of resin and citrus hops, with wet grain and caramel malt. Flavor's like nose, on the dry side, with a moderately dry finish. Tasty stuff.

Ruikt naar oldskool double ipa. Pine, resin, hops. Plakkerig. Hier ben ik al 2 jaar naar op zoek. Goed!

Pint can on 27th Dec 2019; Beach Hut Deli near my daughters place. Golden body, no haze, white head. Hoppy and dry from start to finish, piney bitterness overpowers the citrusy hop content to give a resinous bitter finish.
