Pretty well balanced Bretta IPA. Florals and some lime. Clear golden pour with decent head. Bitter end. The wild yeast of this is light, and the beer comes off overall more just like a Belgian IPA. Can.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose is oily and dank, with big resinous hops, oily pine, and big dank notes. Flavour is pungent, with lots of dank hops, oily resins, some pine, and a touch of gooseberry. Wonderful dank, oily, piney hop expression. Excellent -- one of the best local WCIPAs in some time.
