An American IPA.
This is a bitter beer, and it has turned out to be one of our favorite IPAs that we’ve made.
We didn’t podium with it at Eureka Height’s in their second annual Lupulin Quest competition, but we brewed this beer, and drank all of it before the judging was even completed. You could say we liked it a lot. Special thanks to Todd Limbaugh for inspiring us and pointing out the competition.
