Bill’s Whatever Corner

Bodhizafa IPA

Description

Location: Georgetown Brewing Company (Seattle, WA)

ABV: 6.9%

IBU - 60

For normal people it’s a darn tasty IPA. For beer lovers, this IPA gets its light silky texture from rolled oats. The flavor and aroma both express mandarin and citrus all around. Over five pounds of hops per barrel makes this IPA truly Bodhilicious. Gold medal winner in the American Style IPA category at the Great American Beer Festival in 2016!
