Our 3rd Flagship comes from Bear Republic, here is my review of Racer 5. I can’t divine a brewed on date so I opened with hope for hops and hops I got. A strong wood chip aroma graced my senses and I knew I was in safe hands. A nice bitter kick hits the side of the mouth with each sip. It straddles the line of strong with a sessionable side. Very piney flavor. Very much a throwback to the West Coast style back before the IBU race really started to heat up.
