Free Dive IPA – Coppertail Brewing

By Mike @mikescraftbeer

From Coppertail Brewing in Tampa Florida comes their "Free Dive IPA". The beer pours a golden yellow colour with a white head. The aroma consists of citrus, grapefruit, citrus rind, pine, floral hops and maybe a dank note or two. The flavour is of grain, citrus, citrus rind, resin, pine, bitterness, earth, herbal hops and bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at a good 5.9%. This was a really nice India Pale Ale and a great introduction to this brewery.

Commercial Description: Whether you're diving for stone crabs under Tampa Bay's Sunshine Skyway or just wishing you were, this beer's got you covered. Expect huge hits of citrus and pine aromas layered over a bright malt backbone. Perfect for a day on the water.
