LOC: Niwot, Colorado ABV: 7.2% | IBUS: 60 | SRM: N/A

What the brewer says

“A perfect balance of malts and five different hops gives this India pale ale its edge. The unique blend of citrus and pine aroma and flavor makes it a very drinkable IPA. Perfect for craft enthusiast­s looking for a little more cowbell.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Very light and soft aromas of orange, lemon, peach, pine, and caramel. There’s a cotton-candy sweetness that has cherry and grape notes with a mild floral character. Intriguing.” Flavor: “Hops flavor is a blend of earthy and pine. Slightly sweet malt yields to clean fruity hops (peach, apricot), and it’s slightly dank. Finishes dry enough for the style and slightly bitter, but not as bitter as a traditiona­l West Coast IPA.” Overall: “Clean and easy-drinking ‘fruit-forward’ IPA for the person who doesn’t want a mouth-coating bitterness bomb.”
