Falling Knife Terminally Chill West Coast IPA


 Falling Knife Terminally Chill West Coast IPA. With Idaho 7, Centennial, Citra, and Columbus Cryo hops.

6.5% ABV, Falling Knife Brewing, Minneapolis, Mn. 

At last, Falling Knife has released a non-hazy IPA. I consumed the first three cans with lusty abandon. Now to take notes with number four.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim, but lasting ivory head.

In the nose: citrus and pine apparent, lemon, grapefruit, orange. Partially prickly.

In the mouth: juicy, but with a brace of bitterness, that fades off after a spell. Light bodied, easily consumed, while possessing a healthy bitter bite required of any West Coast style IPA. Citrus and pine in charge of the palate. This one gets it, but good. Do it again, FK, do it more. This is the kind of IPA that I want to drink. Make more, and I’ll keep coming back. 

A Classic West Coast IPA with a firm bitterness backbone.
