There is something comforting about a well-made American IPA. It needs to be assertive in its hop content, but not harsh, the grain bill needs to be toasted bread, crackery, and a little sweet, but never too full or cloying. Rounded citrus peel, slightly dried, pine, and vestiges of dankness. This IPA has it all along with just a little bit of warming booze character on the finish. It's a delight, and one that should be followed by a second. John Holl
