Loophole re-imagined a heavy-hitting ‘90s style US IPA by employing some of their favorite modern hops: Nectaron, Eclipse, and Vic Secret. True to its old-school roots, this IPA features light caramel and toasted malts, giving it an inviting orange color and a touch of sweetness. The real focus, however, is on the hops, delivering bold notes of grapefruit, pine needles, apricot, and melon, along with a firm resiny bitterness.

This American IPA offers a new-age experience of times past, when hot side hops ruled and craft beer aimed to stand out from the mainstream. How did that first pint go?
