Ratings

Juicy/Tropical IPA perfected!

by SMcLoughlin

Fantastic fruity aroma nevertheless undersells the taste. Juicy/fruity and frothy/hoppy in the best possible way. Light body, just enough. Clean lingering bitter, dry/mineral finish. So easy to drink at 7%. Wyeast 1272 really brought the fruit juice to the party, and pitching White Labs SD Super on top of it after 72 hrs got the FG down to target. Like a lighter bodied, fresher Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA. This if fucking brilliant beer. #buenavistataproom
