Firestone Luponic Distortion IPA

 Firestone Luponic Distortion IPA. 


5.9 % ABV, 50 IBU, Firestone Walker Brewing, Paso Robles, California. 

Once upon a time, there was an IPA series with this name. Two of them have appeared here, 9 & 14. This one came from the current variety pack. Is this one of those? I have no way of knowing, so we’ll say it isn’t. 

Clear, bright golden hue, large and lasting ivory froth.

In the nose: big citrus with a dollop of pine. Orange rind and lemon zest.

In the mouth; deliciously bitter from the start. Refreshingly quenching. Light bodied, easy-drinking, with citrus notes bounding off the palate. Nice and dry. Quite delightful. 

A Firestone Walker trailblazer that continues to break the rules. Luponic Distortion turns up the volume with mind-bending hop flavors.
