Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of apple butter and caramelized onion marmalade on toast, green tea, stale honey cereal, and sage/rosemary with a medium-full body and a medium-long finish displaying notes of lemon poppyseed muffin, grilled root vegetable, herbs, and earl grey tea. A nice, savory, and sessionable IPA for westside fans.

American style IPAs are deep gold to amber in color and fall between 5.5-7.5% in alcohol. They are characterized by floral and citrus hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish. This style originated in the 19th century when British troops and colonizers were working to develop an alternative to their standard ales in order to withstand transport to India. Today, US craft brewers have claimed the style as their own with assertive Pacific Northwestern hop varieties that stand out. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Laurelwood Workhorse India Pale Ale, Oskar Blue’s Deviant Dale’s IPA, Three Floyds Alpha King and Founder’s Centennial IPA.
