Fort George Brewery makes some of the best IPAs in the Northwest -- breweries are clamoring to collaborate with them in their beloved Three Way series. Sip one of their most popular hopbombs and it’s easy to taste why: The Optimist IPA is a cheerful, fresh AF Pacific Northwest IPA with all the radiant floral aromatics and pine and pineapple hop flavors you could dream of.

Aromas of mango and jasmine with a hint of dank rise from a shining golden pour and crisp, lacy white head. At first sip, flavors of lemon and yellow peach from Centennial Hops mingle with pineapple notes, before a touch of resin and pine from Simcoe Hops swoop in. Calypso Hops bring out fresh apple notes to balance the swirl of tropical fruit and resin. This upbeat dance of boozy fruit and pine leads to a lingering, crisp bitter finish that’ll keep your spirits up no matter what.

With breweries lining up to work with them, Fort George is in high demand for their hop mastery. The Optimist is the most chipper addition to their IPA lineup -- get a taste of these happy hops!
