Our Signature IPA

Tap to rate

Pine and citrus aromas rise from Chinook and Amarillo hops over a firm malt character from English barley. Cascade in the hopback and dry-hopping with Amarillo, Chinook, Bravo, Columbus and Eureka stack the hop bill, and at 7.0% ABV and 62 IBU this is an assertive IPA with the balance of the East Coast end of the style.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive hop bitterness and piney, resinous character that builds across the mid-palate. The English barley malt provides weight and a subtle sweetness that balances the 62 IBU bitterness, while crisp carbonation maintains clarity and prevents heaviness.

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.
