Workhorse IPA

Laurelwood Brewing Company, Portland, Oregon. 22oz bottle, 7.5%abv.

I almost drank the whole thing before I remembered to blogophize it.

This is a nice IPA -- huge hop nose, solid hop flavor, and a solid bitter finish.

Lots of nice citrus notes in the flavor too, which helps brighten it up a bit. Along with a crisp, light mouthfeel and the assertive bitterness, this helps Workhorse be quite drinkable, and reminds me of the Ninkasi Total Domination. I'll have to do a side-by-side comparison of the two.

There's a Laurelwood tasting tomorrow afternoon at a local watering hole, and hopefully the beers they bring will be as good as this one.
