The third batch of Bursted Single Hop IPA’s from El Segundo takes us deeper into hop varietal territory with Vic’s Secret, El Dorado and Denali. All of which are not as ubiquitous as your Citra’s and Mosaics but might end up being fan favorites.
At 9 bombers, this will be quite the horizontal tasting.
