What a great standard. Flavorful, bold sweetness evened with bold hoppy bitterness. Few hops done very right, flavor doesn't fade.

More sour than hoppy, so a different type of IPA.

One of my all time favorite IPAs. Not a hop-head, so if I'm going to like an IPA, it's going to need to be balanced, or at least bring something else to the table. This was a fantastic brew- definitely hop-forward but equally balanced, with some beautiful fruity notes of apple and pear, and then a nice smooth buttery malt character to round things out. this, along with brewdog's punk IPA, is probably my favorite IPA.

The best tasting IPA I've had so far.. Not too heavy, but the perfect balance of bitterness and caramel notes with an exceptional finish. Bear Republic Racer 5 hailing from my home state of California:-)

Really hoppy finish and refreshing, I liked it, but I would drink just one at a time.
