Bear Republic Brewery: Racer 5 IPA

7.0% ABV  -  75+ IBU's

I have to admit up front that Bear Republic Brewery's Racer 5 IPA is on my short list of consistently great IPA's.

Straight out of the bottle you get hit with a great citrus hop aroma. It pours out a bit lighter than most IPA's and is just a tiny bit light on maltiness for me, but that makes the hopiness really crisp and in your face.

The other thing that really gets me excited it the price. At around $4 for a 22-oz. bottle at most places it can't be beat!
