Firestone Walker Union Jack
Firestone Walker‘s newest IPA for release, Union Jack. It has been in test markets in California, and has been poured at the Firestone Walker Tap Room in Buellton, CA. After many months of perfecting it for all to consume, Union Jack has made it to 12oz bottle, sporting the brand new logo all Firestone Walker Ales will carry.
Appearance: Golden yellow, not overly active carbonation. About a 1 inch head.
Aroma: Floral hop, bazooka bubble gum.
Taste: Light floral hops, spicy malts, and a tiny bit of tartness on the finish. A small hint of metalic hop balanced with the nice malt profile. Found some citrus as it warmed up.
Mouthfeel: Refreshingly thin, perfectly carbonated, made it go down real smooth.
Overall: The most pleasant, balanced IPA in all of California. I love a chewy hop bomb, this has tons of hops in it, but doesn’t blow your face off. As of this writing, it is still infiltrating shelves.
