Breckenridge Hop Peak IPA

Breckenridge Hop Peak IPA. Breckenridge Brewery, Fine Colorado Ales. 

6.5 % ABV, 57 IBU. Breckenridge Brewery, Littleton, CO. 

Guess what? They have mountains in Colorado. Hence the name for this beer. Betcha they thought no-one would get it, but they didn't count on me, did they? 

Lightly clouded, bright golden hued, slim white head. 

In the nose: Citrus and pine, orange and grapefruit. Fresh and zesty. Beautiful aromatics. 

In the mouth: Big hop bitterness at the start, more fresh, more zest, bursting with citrus and pine. Juicy, fruity, but definitely ending on a dry note. Medium bodied, excellent balance and drinkability. Orange and grapefruit and a touch of lime to match the traces of pine. This is right on the money for an America IPA, and I am digging it. So tasty, so downable. It's so very refreshing to find a regular ol' American IPA, the kind that made this nation great. 

Simcoe and Citra dry hops form a pinnacle of lush citrus and pine aromas in this modern interpretation of the classic India Pale Ale. Our hopback infuses flavor from whole cone hops to build a complex body, further emboldened by the addition of an oil-rich, concentrated hop flower resin called lupulin powder. This potent powder kicks up a fresh hoppy dominance, which is supported by a backbone of unique specialty malts. Golden amber in color and refreshing in taste, Hop Peak IPA is a congratulatory drink for reaching any of life’s summits.
