Tasting Notes

HUGE hop nose plus great bitterness and flavor, named for my English Bulldog, Angus.

The idea for this IPA started with a trip to Elliot Bay in West Seattle, were I tried the Hop Von Borian (IPA), which resulted from Elliot Bay's experimentation with Belgian yeast in other beer styles. I then decided to try out the "hop bursting" technique. I just kegged this and so far, I'm pretty impressed with the great flavor!
