Astroid
Huge aromas of candied pineapple and orange open this West Coast IPA, followed by sticky pine sap and a clean bitterness on the back end. Sultana, Citra and Chinook carry it at 7.2%. Astroid is a core beer that stands firm alongside the brewery's hazy core beers. It comes from Dancing Gnome in Pittsburgh, whose taproom opened on October 1, 2016.
