Step inside the ropes and brace for impact—Boxer Brewing Co. comes out swinging with BXR Bare Knuckle, an unapologetic West Coast IPA. Stripped of all modern haze and sweet gimmicks, this lean, golden fighter goes straight for the jaw with classic, unadulterated hop power. The bell rings with intense aromas of sticky pine needles, damp forest floor, and bruised citrus zest leaping from the glass. On the palate, a razor-thin, pale malt backbone steps out of the way to let raw hop oils deliver a punishing combination of dank resin, ruby red grapefruit, and earthy cedar. It finishes bone-dry with a clean, lingering bitterness that stands tall until the final round.
