COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Old school meets new school in this fresh approach to the classic IPA. At 50 IBU’s and 6.7% ABV, Breaking Bud features the restrained bitterness and alcohol of a classic IPA with newer tropical fruit hop flavors and aromas of Mosaic. Also in the hop mix are Simcoe and CTZ, creating layers of mango, passion fruit, pine and dank. A malt bill with a pinch of crystal malt and a hefty dose of flaked wheat keeps the beer crisp while adding flavor complexity. Cheers to the past, present and future!

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2023 Fat @ Barrels, Gamla Stan. Disig gulfärgad med ett vitt skum med efterföljande gardiner på insidan av glaset. Snyggt. Dofter av mango, apelsin, passionsfrukt, örter. Smakinslag av grapefrukt, apelsin, passionsfrukt, trä. Torr munkänsla, kort avslutning.
3.5
UPDATED: APR 24, 2023 Good brew but I'm a stickler for the 7% abv on IPA so it falls short. Nice tight froth, golden hue, smells fresh, tropicals/citrus flavors dominate. Medium nectar with a nice balanced hop. 16oz can

UPDATED: AUG 11, 2022 Can from Trader Joe’s in Cupertino I think. High clarity deep golden color. Classic TJ cardboard oxidation. They must have a special beer storage container on the roof that is shared with Total Wine. Medium malty aroma. Crisp finish. Not bad, but …

UPDATED: APR 13, 2021 Nose is malt and ripe tropical fruit, medium body with a some malty weight. Hop flavor is a bit coarse. Finish has a slight clinging bitterness. Good, but not one of Knee Deep's best efforts.
