A couple months ago I had the luxury of visiting some fabulous friends in San Francisco at one of my favorite winebars with a great beer selection, District. I haven't always been the biggest fan of organic beers because they usually taste too sweet. Napa Smith Organic IPA tends to fall in this same category despite the disguise of its hoppy nose.
The Washdown:
- amber colored, hoppy nose, light fruity notes Organic IPA (Napa Smith Brewery in Napa, California) 7.10% ABV
The hoppy nose isn't as strong as it appears. It's Malty with light Grapefruit notes that help curb the sugar rush. And it pours with one finger head.
This fun organic IPA really harkens back to old style India Pale Ales, meaning you can definitely taste the Yeast as opposed to modern day super-hop-charged west coast IPAs.
