This beer is made in a typical IPA fashion, with a blend of Crystal malts and heavy late additions of aroma hops. There are a few twists though. The first twist is the blend of hops used; English style earthy and fruity varieties with a touch of American Citrus hops. The second twist is the color; blackish-brown, with a slight roasted character that compliments and adds complexity to the hop bitterness. ABV 7.3% IBU 60
