The first in our Civil War Collaboration Series. We decided while watching the 2012 game together that we would brew a collab beer every year based on the previous year's game.
Why 86'd IPA? We won't name names, but in 2012 one of the 10 Barrel owners got escorted out of the stadium... if you ask him, there was a slight "miscommunication" with security.
86'd IPA is our take on a West Coast hop bomb just big enough to get a good tailgate buzz on. Drink up!
Smells and tastes both piney and citrusy. Somewhat sweet and fruity as well, with a medium-bodied biscuity malt base. Bitter hops aftertaste. Tasty, though not especially memorable.
