242. Lazy Hiker Brewing Company (Franklin, NC) - Slack Pack IPA

“Slack Pack IPA is your beer for enjoying that last view after you’ve left behind the baggage of the day. Slack Pack IPA features a full blend of American hops stacked like a cairn on slightly sweet malt.”

Very bright and clean, with light pine and citrus notes. Drifts a little more toward the citrus as it warms up. We drove down through Sylva, NC, today (7/10/20), to look at a really old rock covered in petroglyphs; and when we came back around, we had lunch in Sylva (Pie Times Pizza Co.)—and there were at least three different breweries along one section of Main Street. I got beer at two of them—the third only had crowlers and growlers, and they were too expensive (think Black Circle prices, except that Black Circle doesn’t do growlers of any kind)—and this one was only $10 for a six-pack of 12-ounce cans (and the stickers and buttons were free). The bitter finish lingers, and the citrus really shines when it warms up.
