Union Jack

Brewery: Firestone Walker Brewing Company

Style: IPA

Availability: Year Round

Description:

Union Jack rings all of the bells of an aggressively hopped West Coast IPA, but with an astonishing balance that stands out from the crowd. The name Union Jack is a nod to the colonial origins of the IPA style, and to the British expatriate who co­?founded the Firestone Walker brewery. This originator of the “Jack” IPA family is double dry?hopped to create bold grapefruit, tangerine and citrus ?avors, all contrasted by pale malt sweetness to rein in the intensity. The result is a tribute to—and a twist on—the IPA style that put the West Coast on the craft beer map.
