Bootstrap Brewing | Insane Rush® IPA

ABV: 7.2%
IBUs: 60

Musical pairings: AC/DC, Scorpions, Great White, and Leslie’s hot tub party mix

A perfect balance of malts and five different hops give this India Pale Ale its edge. The unique blend of citrus and pine aroma and flavor makes it a very drinkable IPA.

Perfect for craft enthusiasts looking for a little more cowbell…

Appearance – Falling somewhere between medium gold to medium reddish-copper; it’s got, like, an orange-ish tint. It is clear as fuck. Good head stand with white to off-white color persists.

Aroma – Intense notes of pineapple, tangerines, pink grapefruit, pine resins, blood orange, parsley, peaches, and toasted bread deliver in every sniff, and the finish is pure spruce/pine aromatics.

Flavor – Flavors of grapefruit, bitter orange, citrus, grass, mild caramel and dry, earthy yeast, with a hint of sweetness and biscuit’y grain on the finish.

Mouthfeel – The mouthfeel has medium carbonation yielding a medium body. This ale finishes with moderate alcohol warmth, but it’s a smooth drinker. Its lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops.

Overall Impression – The moderate-strength makes for a dry, crisp, elegant IPA in which the big hops infusion is framed beautifully. Clean, lively, yellow apples, pears, peaches, lemons, and honey biscuits, along with a sinfully creamy texture, make this a classic American IPA!
