Very floral hops, not overbearing. I've had more complex IPAs, but still really good!

Reminds me of the Lagunitas IPA in that it has a grapefruit finish though not as sharp as Lagunitas. I'm not a big citrus IPA guy so this is not my favorite but is very drinkable.

At BR brewery. Medium gold in color. Good balance of hops and Malts. A solid single IPA.

I don't know if I truly loved IPA's until I drank Bear Republic's Racer 5. It's hoppy, fruity, with just that perfect bitter kick, and all balanced so perfectly. It's tasty and provocative, just a delicious and fun beer to drink!

Not crazy hoppy. Pretty smooth. Bottle conditioned, very drinkable.

Had this on draught ICE cold in a frosted mug. It was delicious. Very good balance between hops and citrus aroma. Very drinkable IPA. Could easily have a bunch!
