Rusty IPA is a beer that connects a few different crafty eras.
Leaning towards the earlier days is the the fact the beer pours with an orange hue and provides rich underlying flavours of caramel and toffee alongside a firm bitterness. But it’s on the hops front where worlds really collide, with Rusty giving off a mix of classic West Coast aromas and flavours of resin and pine.
If you stopped reading at this point, you might wonder where the modernity comes in, but keep reading and drinking and you'll discover a clear mix of tropical mango and pineapple that bring Rusty closer to hazy IPA territory.
