India Pale Ale (IPA) was developed in England around 1800; the extra hops and alcohol strength helped preserve the beer during its long export shipping journeys to India and beyond. The style, rekindled with American hops, has developed a following worldwide. Ours begins with a big burst of dry-hop aroma and flavor leading to a balance of malt and hop-forward character then finishing with a lingering yet pleasant bitterness. Men's Journal included this beer in its 2016 list of 101 Best Beers in American, it won a 2014 World Beer Cup Bronze Award, and was Gold Medal winner in the U.S. Open Beer Championships in 2013 & 2011.
