Description
Our passion for beer was brewed up in the heart of Idaho - famous for the Sawtooth Mountains, wild rivers and the iconic Sockeye salmon. We have a real sense of pride when we say we've got Idaho in our DNA. From our flagship Dagger Falls IPA (named after a Class V rapid located on the Middle Fork Salmon) to Angel's Perch Amber (a peak in the Pioneer Mountains), we strive to represent Idaho as a leader in craft brew industry and beyond.

Sampler at Bacon & Beer clear deep orange with a thin white skin. Clean light toasted malts. The Belgian yeast character comes through and a little floral note that I can only assume is rose hips. Interesting combo. Clean

Sampler at Bacon & Beer fest mostlynclear medium orange pour thin fine ring of white bubbles. Great mix of light fresh piney notes and firm citrus pithiness in the aromas and flavors. Sturdy and full. A hefty IPA that still has that early season freshness all around. Quite good
