Finally I have gotten to another new-to-me local beer.If you want a quality IPA that isn't trying hard to over-do-it, isn't hopped to the point the enamel peels off your teeth, and isn't so aggressive that you think you've juiced a pine tree into a grapefruit, then this might be the beer for you.
It has a simple, geometric label. It's not stretching to make a pun with the name. Hops are simple and straight forward: a little grapefruit and a little pine (yes even I can take pine when it is a complementary flavor). Even though the hops are American, it's a hopping rate I more associate with English IPAs or Bitters. Neither are overpowering on the nose or the palate. The ABV is 6.5%, which again puts it middle of the road for the style. It pours a nice copper with a white head.
It's a straight up classic American IPA.
