Nicely old school West Coast. Rye provides perfect bit of scratch. Maybe a bit over dry hopped, but tough to fault this.
Kinnegar execute so well, I wish they’d push the boat out more recipe-wise. This could be Red Rocket/Lucky 13 transcendentally good, if it were just juicier + bumped the rye a bit (18%, I hear.)
But there’s something to be said for safe + reliable...
