From Firestone Walker: The newest member of the Firestone family, Union Jack is the aggressive IPA that you’ve been searching for. Citrus, pineapple, and a full chewy malt profile finish clean on your palate. Over 70 IBUs and 7.5% alcohol by volume, Union Jack won’t have any problem competing with the big India Pale Ales. A beer true to its origins; deeply hopped and bolstered for a long voyage.

    Comment:

    Beautiful pour, nice light orange/amber with a light fluffy head. Taste is very nice; complex with some bitterness riding behind a nice caramel malt. Hits of citrus and a bit of a floral herbs, maybe an oak barrel? Feels nice, a lit oily, and fairly light. It goes down pretty easy, it’s a bit aggressive, but not at all overwhelming. Good stuff!

    Characteristics: bitter citrus complex floral oily
