Unfiltered West Coast IPA
ABV 8.5% | SRM 3 | IBU 75 | OG 18.0 | FG 2.6
Freehiking is navigating through nature without trails, sometimes with an unknown destination, simply for the enjoyment of the trip. This is a perfect metaphor for our new adventure in brewing. Freehike IPA is an ongoing series of Double IPAs where the recipe changes each brew. This latest batch features Strata and Idaho 7 hops from Crosby Farms in Oregon. The prominent aroma and flavor reminds us of fresh cut lemon peel. Under the initial citrus-forward hop punch are notes of mango and pine.
