3lb IPA from St. Boniface Craft Brewing Co.

3lb IPA is an American pale ale with 6% ABV from St. Boniface Craft Brewing Co. out of Ephrata, PA. Through crowdfunding and demand from fans of the brewery, St. Boniface was able to can 3lb in the summer of 2016.

This pours to a golden wheat color with a substantial off white colored head that does dissolve fairly quick. Strong aromas of pine, citrus and some floral aspects flow out from first pour, all the way until the last drop.

Despite its pronounced aroma this ale is subtly flavored, a lovely taste of grapefruit and pine that is mellowed well by its malt backbone. The finish is clean and smooth with almost no lasting bitterness and only a mild amount of carbonation.

An incredibly polished IPA that does its job of offering a floral, citrus tinged beer with tons of flavor and almost none of the hoppy bitterness. Balance is an understatement as this brew is the perfect “first IPA” for newcomers to the craft beer world that want to try a crisp IPA without any lingering bitterness.
