Castle Danger White Pine Project IPA. 5.6% ABV. Castle Danger Brewing, Two Harbors, MN.
Mostly clear, bright golden color, flush, fresh, highly stable ivory head atop.
In the nose: Some pine, plenty of citrus. Forest floor meets Tropicana. Nice. Grapefruit and tannenbaum.
In the mouth: 1st impression: Mmmm! 2nd Sip: yeah! Tasty, tangy, citrusy, tingly, delightful. Third time down the throat?: Mmm, plus yeah!, in addition to hell, yeah, and then some. Medium bodied, if not lightish, minimal malt. Hey, I like this. Damned fine IPA.
White pines were once a staple in the landscape of the North Shore. Our White Pine Project IPA is a beer with a purpose – to help reinstate the white pine population in our back yard. Proceeds from this beer will go directly to planting targeted areas along the North Shore that will stand for future generations to enjoy. This IPA flaunts a robust aroma of bright citrus, tropical fruit, and pine, with just enough bitterness. The mellow golden malt character and effervescence carry these towering hop flavors as high as a stately white pine.
