Up and Down the Hill

El Segundo Brewing went from a bevy of great pale ales to Two Five Left, a double.  Now they circle back to a locally named Grand Hill IPA.  Here is what one of our LA “bitter” breweries has to say about the new beer, “Named after the hill you have to slog back up from El Porto.. since it is precisely what you’ll be looking for after a day in the surf and sun, and a 1/4 mile climb straight back up to town!

Nothing but base malt, Big Bitterness, 7.2% ABV, and a heavy dose of Amarillo and Centennial  hops make this India Pale Ale a nod to what has made the California IPA what it is today.  Bright presence of lemon zest in the aroma leads well into a base of pine and citrus in the palate.”
I will be checking to see what Rob has up his hop sleeve here.
