Tap to rate

Woodland Empire's City of Trees is a West Coast IPA that tastes like Boise's name — bright, resinous, layered with citrus zest and pine. At 6.7% and 68 IBU, the bitterness is honest and forward; the finish is clean and dry. A beer built for hopheads who like their IPA with structure and character, not just punch.
