Forest Ranger
A West Coast IPA built on a classic line-up of American hops, which the brewery says gives it a pungent profile with added layers of pine and citrus. The aroma brings pine dust and orange peel. On the palate it is bittersweet and dry, with a resinous note that carries into the finish. At 6.2% it is the strongest of the brewery's regular hop-led beers.
