Crack A Window
A recurring collaboration with Indie Alehouse, built to try out experimental hop varieties and products from Hopsteiner. The malt base of 2-row with a little Caramunich stays deliberately thin, leaving a light bready sweetness and a touch of caramel underneath. The Centennial-derived Salvo hops put lemon peel, floral notes and a resinous edge on top, and the finish is dry with a clean moderate bitterness.
