It’s not hard to forget it’s been winter in the Pacific Northwest with the lack of customary cloudy days, annual snowfall and frigid cold. Kick back on the porch with a glass of Woodinville, Washington-based Dirty Bucket Brewing Co.’s refreshing Sicyne India pale ale to achieve the optimal spring state of mind.
Combing elements of their ESB and flagship IPA, then loaded with a heavy hand of citra hops, this IPA carries a woodsy malt backbone with some citrusy hop zing to brighten it up a bit. Originally brewed to celebrate the brewery’s anniversary, the owners thought it would be more fitting to make it the namesake beer for a fellow hophead and late friend.
