Top Gun IPA
Blind Tiger's San-Diego-styled West Coast IPA — aggressive hopping, resinous piney character, firm bitter finish. A Topeka brewpub doing what the West Coast used to do best, back before hazy took over. Top Gun is straightforward: clean malt, big hop punch, dry closer. Kansas West Coast, unabashed.
