The nascent king of beer is an IPA that, unlike its sibling Hopslam Ale, uses 100% Centennial hops picked from the Pacific Northwest. Balance is key here. The hops aroma bursts with grapefruit, pineapple, pine, and a hint of spice — but a rich, caramel malt backbone tames the bitterness. A crisp finish leaves you craving another sip.
With a more modest 7% alcohol, you better make it two pints.
