COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Release Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2009
The beer’s not red, Jason is! We’ve brewed this IPA in celebration of our good friend and longtime CBC’er Jason Lydic as he stares down the barrel of the big 4-0. We’d be remiss if we didn’t make sure everybody knew it, so make sure you take a moment to say hi to J with a hearty “Geez, man, you’re 40!” Brewed with Vienna and Munich malts and aggressively hopped with Tettnang, Cascade, Spalt, and Amarillo, then dryhopped with over 11# more Amarillo. The result: super-floral, juicy notes of citrus, pepper, and spice balanced by just enough malt in the finish. This IPA will make J happy. Trust us, we know.

On tap at CBC (250909). Very murky reddish ginger colour. Big grapefruit and pine resin aroma. Good sweet and sour bite on the palate with a good, firm hop attack persisting from the start through to the aftertaste. Quenching citrus finish. Although quite dark for an IPA the hops dominate the malts but not so much as to damage the balance. Not sure what impact the Spalt and Tettnang hops had but, overall, a very tasty IPA.
