Town Hall Yakima Journey IPA. Didn't check the full details on this one, I'll get them later. I can remember it's inspired by a trip to the Yakima Valley, and the hops found there. It's not quite a double IPA, but at 7.7% ABV, it's above a regular IPA.
(Checking the website…it's not on there yet. Huh. I'll post details later.)
Enough talk, let's drink.
Appearance: clear, bright golden-hued, long-lasting 1/2" white head.
Aroma: beautifully hoppy nose, loads of citrus, grapefruit and lime, hints of pine, hints of tropical tones, too. Gorgeous.
Taste: Lively burst of hop bitterness on the palate, then smoothness. Smooth, and slightly sweet. Lean-bodied, with a long, bitter finish. The cure for what ails the common hophead. Ah, delicious.
This one is the best of both worlds…the big hop attack of a double IPA, and an ABV that keeps it easy drinking. Yakima, you're a hell of a journey.
