Description
Ethos is no ordinary IPA. Crafted from a palette of six hop varieties and then double dry-hopped with three different types of hops, this beer has an aroma that is big, bright and beautiful and a taste that explodes with juicy hop flavors, with notes of pine, resin, grapefruit and caramel. Gold Medal, U.S. Open Beer Championship, 2014.

Intense hops abound with prototypical American IPA “C hops” leading the way, evincing aromas of resins, citrus, and piney hop character. The moderate-strong hops are supported by a background of light bready malt before all balance gives way to an aggressive, lingering bitterness. This beer is everything you would expect in a west coast IPA yet from a state that is as further away from either coast than many states. This is a very well-done American IPA. Enjoy!
