Overdub “Session” IPA – Fort George Brewing, Astoria, OR

One of my personal favorites! Fort George has created another delicious craft beer for us beer “geeks” Much to discuss with this IPA, fruit varieties galore. Grapefruit, Mango and Papaya, sounds like a fruit salad! Very impressive taste and mouthfeel. From beginning to end, this IPA smells of citrus, not to biter and no lingering dirt after taste. If you enjoy hops and aroma, this beer is for you. At 4.5% ABV, be sure to bring your DD as more than a couple is well worth the effort.

Hop Cooler IPA – Ninkasi Brewing Co., Eugene, OR

Ducks, Huskies, can’t we all get along? Eugene has the answer! Hop Cooler by Ninkasi has everything to make you smile—a very crisp citrus IPA that does not dry the palate.
