West Coast Double IPA
ABV 8.4% | SRM 3 | IBU 70
Freehiking is the act of navigating through nature without trails, sometimes with an unknown destination. We feel like this is a perfect metaphor for our new adventure in brewing. Freehike IPA will be an ongoing series of IPAs where the recipe changes each brew.
This batch is a double IPA with Strata, Citra, Idaho 7 and Centennial. This combo yields a beer with intense tropical fruit flavor and aroma.
