Sarah and I picked up a six-pack of this on our spring visit to Northern California, the same trip where we visited Russian River and sampled three or four highly-regarded IPA’s as close to the source as possible. So I was surprised to taste this beer, heretofore unknown to me, and have my mind completely blown by the tropical fruit explosion this bottle contains. An incredible, assertively-hopped IPA, much “louder” than Blue Dot, but which stands as its equal. I only wish you could get it in Oregon.
