The hop purists at Range Brewing take a trip back to bold, resinous roots with Drifting Back, a towering West Coast Double IPA. Pouring a brilliant, crystal-clear deep golden-amber beneath a sticky white foam head, this heavy-hitter erupts with intense aromatics of sticky pine resin, pungent grapefruit, blood orange, and sweet tropical fruit. On the palate, a sturdy, lean malt backbone provides just enough structure to support a massive payload of classic and modern hops. Waves of zesty citrus oil, dank herbal pine, and crushed passionfruit coat the tongue, accompanied by a booming, mouth-coating bitterness that lingers long into a bone-dry finish. Bold, uncompromising, and beautifully balanced, it’s a big, punchy West Coast masterpiece built for true hop purists.
