This straightforward, old-school American IPA contains citrus and piney hop aromas. It pours a clear gold color with a solid white head. Hops dominate the taste, with pine and resin flavors leading the charge. Malt provides a solid backbone, but is otherwise neutral in flavor. This beer is bitter and smooth, and it finishes dry and fairly crisp with moderately high carbonation. It's a very good beer resulting from a tried-and-true approach, and a pleasant reminder of why it was an IPA that birthed the craft beer movement.

Highland IPA
Description
A statement. From Appalachia. American Chinook, Citra, and Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest shine in our West Coast-style IPA. A sturdy malt bill frames hints of tropical fruit, lemon rind, grapefruit, and dank hop notes. Brilliant and golden in color, expect a dry, resiny, citrusy finish.
