Well, well, well. This isn’t all hops like I was expecting it to be. Typically these beers can skew way too bitter in an attempt to be the “most” American IPA. This has a delightful malty backbone that gives off a little bit of heft in the body and a bready sweetness to counterbalance with the hops. I’m a big fan of malt when used sparingly and with intention. It’s a slippery slope because a beer can become undrinkable with too much maltiness but the intention behind the inclusion of this malt is clear and pays off in a major way.
