This is a heavy-hitting 6.7% IPA, built on Extra Pale Ale, Munich Light, Wheat, and Whole Oat Malt. Hops on this are Idaho 7 and Citra. Expect huge pineapple and tropical citrus flavors backed by a silky-smooth malt base.

That first sip hit me with a wave of pineapple that just keeps coming, and the 6.7% definitely lets you know it's there. The whole oat malt gives it a nice, full mouthfeel that makes the tropical citrus last longer than most IPAs I've tried.
The oat malt really rounds out the bitterness here—smooth enough to sip slowly, which you'll want to do anyway at 6.7%. That whole grain backbone keeps the Idaho 7 from turning harsh, and the pineapple comes through juicy on the finish.
The pineapple and tropical citrus from those Idaho 7 and Citra hops hit you right up front, and the 6.7% gives it a nice warming kick without being boozy. The Munich and oat malts leave a soft, bready finish that makes me reach for another sip every time.
