Firestone Walker Union Jack (355ml)

The citrus aroma of the hops used in abundance and the strong bitterness are well balanced, with a clean aftertaste. Won the GABF Gold Award for two consecutive years!

Like a classic West Coast style IPA, Union Jack is aggressively hoppy, yet exceptionally well-balanced.

Although it is an American craft beer, the name "Union Jack" is reminiscent of Britain, as it pays homage to the IPA style, which has its origins in the former British Empire, and to David Walker, the British co-founder of Firestone Walker.

Unlike their flagship product DBA, this wine is fermented 100% in stainless steel tanks.

Released in February 2008, this IPA, the first in the brewery's "Jack" series, is generously and generously hopped, with Magnum used for bittering, Cascade and Centennial added in the later stages of the boil to give it aroma, and then dry hopped twice with Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Chinook, and Simcoe, giving it an overwhelming flavor of grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, apricot, and citrus, with the contrasting sweetness of pale malt maintaining the overall balance.

The finish has a slight, pleasant acidity, and the perfect amount of refreshing carbonation makes for a very smooth mouthfeel.

This beer pays homage to the IPA style that originated in the UK while combining it with American innovation, further solidifying the reputation of the American West Coast, which continues to lead the IPA revolution.

It won a silver medal at the 2008 World Beer Cup and gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival in 2008 and 2009.
