Outlaw IPA

Payette Brewing Company
United States·American IPA
Tap to rate

Payette Brewing from Boise built its reputation on West Coast discipline, and Outlaw IPA is that philosophy in a glass — bold, piney, and unapologetically dry. Centennial and Chinook hops drive a citrus-resin-forward attack; at 6.9% and 65 IBUs, it's aggressive without theatre. This is for people who want their IPA to mean business.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Outlaw IPA

◎ Appearance

Bright golden-yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings firmly to the glass walls. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, leaving a trail of lacing with each sip. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual presence without haze or turbidity.

◌ Aroma

Centennial and Chinook hops deliver an immediate piney-resinous strike, layered with bright citrus notes—grapefruit peel and lemon zest predominate. The hop character dominates the nose; underlying malt provides a light, grainy backbone that does not compete. Clean fermentation allows the botanical character to shine unobstructed.

◐ Taste

Entry is hop-forward and assertive, with resinous bitterness and citrus intensity establishing an immediate presence on the palate. Mid-palate develops herbal and floral undertones from the hops, while a lean malt base provides minimal sweetness—the beer refuses indulgence. At 60 IBUs, bitterness is pronounced and persistent, driving toward a thoroughly dry conclusion.

◑ Finish

Crisp and lingering, with piney-resinous bitterness extending well into the aftertaste. The finish is refreshingly clean and unapologetic, leaving no residual sweetness or softness behind.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
