Limited edition; get 'em while they last. This beer is a prime example of my adage: "Dark is just a color". Although Zipline Black IPA pours a black blacker than the blackest black, it isn't heavy, it's nothing that all of you dark beer haters out there think of when you think "dark beer". It's an India Pale Ale that forgot to use its sunscreen is what it is. I'm not detecting any coffee or chocolate or roasted malts or any of that dark beer stuff. Just some nice piney hops, a little bit of grapefruit, a hint of heat from the 8% ABV and just a damn good IPA that will put hair on your chest...or maybe take it off for the more hirsute among us. Slainte!
