Braxton Brewing Company: Crank Shaft

Official description from the brewery:
You remember the year you put that old Ford back together? Piece by piece you worked on that vintage machine, long into the nights, while Marty and Joe called the game on the radio and you cussing with every busted knuckle. Then, with that first crank, she fired up like she rolled right off the line and pride rushed through you like hi-test gasoline. And no, you can’t have that year back, but you can have a can of Crankshaft IPA, and the familiar beauty of those long-past days will return. Life is not about the destination, but the journey A more approachable version of the typical American IPA, Crank Shaft has hop flavor and is aroma forward. Notes of citrus, mangoes, and tropical fruit dominate. The bitterness is more rounded than most, due to primarily late hop additions, as well as dry hopping. The use of three different types of malts give this brew a more balanced body and slight amber/light Caramel color. Accolades: Gold Medal at Alltech Commonwealth Cup
