KCBC Superhero Sidekicks IPA Review
Looking back over the course of the year, this IPA is one we returned to again and again — having it delivered, riding our bikes to pick it up curbside, and ordering it outside while dining in the middle of a NYC street. It pours a hazy, bright pale yellow, with a fruit-packed nose full of orange, grapefruit, tangerine, and a pungent hop character. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied and soft, with thoughtfully calibrated carbonation. The moment it fizzles and fades — leaving tart orange and a hint of bitterness in its wake — we’re ready for another.
