India Pale Ale
A true West Coast IPA that bites like a tiger but kisses like a cornflower. Oranges, grapefruit and pine needles quietly wrestle in the background for your attention, and the beer tastes of adventure. The aroma is fruity and citrusy and meets a firm bitterness with a resinous finish. Centennial, Callista and Chinook are the hops, and the yeast works top-fermented.
