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!

Bomber served in my IPA glass. Figured once I had this brew it’d be a good reason to catch up on Breaking Bad. A beautiful orange gold with an insanely fresh & fruity hop bouquet. Smells awesome. Medium bodied and bitter but balanced with sweetness, pine, citrus and tropical fruits. Great stuff!

Clear pale. Slight tart nose. Taste is first hp bitter then it gets even more bitter inthe finish. However, its not as hoppy as I thought it would be. Probably an IPA to those who like bud but not as hoppy as a big IPA should be. JMHO. Perhaps I’m just getting used to IPA after 10 years of trying them. In the end this beer just comes across really fresh.
