Northwest IPA

◎ Appearance

Deep golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. A dense, cream-colored head forms on the pour and maintains good retention, settling into a thin collar of lace around the glass.

◌ Aroma

Resinous and piney character dominates the nose, with the Columbus and Chinook hops delivering a woody, almost turpentine-like quality. Subtle citrus undertones and a grassy, herbal edge round out the profile, with a faint spicy backdrop from the hop blend.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bold, resinous bitterness that builds steadily across the mid-palate. The supporting malt base—evident but restrained—provides a light caramel sweetness and bread-like foundation that keeps the hops grounded. The finish dries considerably, with lingering pine and spice.

◑ Finish

A firm, drying finish with lasting resinous and piney notes. The bitterness persists without becoming harsh, gradually fading into a clean, crisp aftertaste.
