Pungently dank, assertively full of citrus, & firm bitterness on this classic IPA harkens back to days past. This hop-forward ale is the other side of the coin, as opposed to hazy IPAs.
A split of standard 2-row & Maris Otter make up the base malts. Munich malt, as well as touches of dextrin & white wheat, come in as support players & round out the grist nicely. A decent punch of Altus & Amarillo were dropped in for kettle hop additions. Altus, Amarillo, & Apollo were utilized for a slam of dry hopping. The combo of these hop varietals lend strong notes of danky pine & grapefruit zest, with a floral hint in the background. A neutral, crisp American ale yeast strain lets all the components shine with out adding anything else.
