Woods & Waters
Melon, pineapple and pink grapefruit lead the aroma, with notes of onion, garlic and subtle pine and a faint malt grain sweetness. Simcoe, Mosaic, Columbus and Idaho 7 hops meet Blue Ox pale, wheat and Vienna malts in this 6.2% IPA. The name comes from Katahdin Woods and Waters, the first International Dark Sky Place certified in Maine, where an event called Stars Over Katahdin pairs campfire chats with telescopes.
