Combover
A modern American IPA with a West Coast heart and hazy-era polish. Piney and resinous up front — think grapefruit pith and pine tar — over a crackling malt spine that keeps things upright. Aggressively hopped but never sloppy: Combover shows Schilling's Alpine-lager reputation was hiding a serious hop pedigree.
