Description
T-dub has never told a lie, broken a mirror, nor walked under a ladder. This IPA is an all around do-gooder. Focused on massive aroma, TW graciously gifts you with dank grapefruit and tangerine.

Trust Weasel is American IPA brewed by Flying Lion Brewing, judged as BJCP Category 21A. American IPA.
This hop-forward beer starts with grapefruit, berry, and floral aromas. Although those individual characteristics are not otherwise unique in an American IPA, their synthesis is particularly mellow and pleasant while retaining a juicy, fresh essence. This beer is clear and copper-colored, with a tall, white head that lasts. The flavor continues to be hop-forward but is not overly bitter. The clean malt character has a light grainy note and carries grapefruit and floral hop flavors into the dry finish. Typical for style, this American IPA is medium-bodied with medium-high carbonation, which lends a crisp, cleansing character. This is an ace.
