Bodhizafa IPA

Tap to rate

Georgetown Brewing's Bodhizafa is a 6.9% American IPA named for Point Break's spiritual drifter—and it drinks like one, all forward momentum and no apologies. Resinous pine and grapefruit lead; the medium body and 65 IBU keep it punchy without becoming a hop sledgehammer. One for drinkers who want their IPA to taste like IPA.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
