This is only the second entry in the Brut IPA sweepstakes I've yet to try. Haven't checked out Surly's, Indeed's, or Dangerous Man's, just this and Sisyphus'. And I don't really get the appeal. Can't see what makes it an improvement on the good ol' IPA. Am I being the cranky old man, yelling at those young whippersnappers? Maybe.

A new champagne-influenced IPA style emerging from the West Coast, it's fermented extremely dry - less dense than water - and super light in both color & body. This version features both Amarillo & Galaxy hops.
Malts: Extra Pale Pilsner
Hops: Galaxy, Vic Secret (Australia); Amarillo (United States); Callista (Germany)
Yeast: American Ale
