Beer of the Month: Goldwater Brewing Co. Admiral McClelland’s High Seas

Celebrating five years of beermaking in the West’s Most Western Town, Goldwater brews itself a big ol’ figurative birthday cake in the guise of this zesty, high-gravity sipper. A West Coast-style IPA (read: more hops than the Savoy Ballroom), High Seas is the second edition of the family-owned brewery’s “all C” hops series, layering Calypso, Comet, Chinook and Citra hops within a faintly bready malt structure. A little dry, a little pineapple-y, a whole lot crushable. Just limit yourself to one or two – you know how zany these 5-year-old birthday parties can get. goldwaterbrewing.com
