Elbow Fives Deserves a High 5!

A Colorado collaboration beer with Crook Stave and Westbound & Down

I love collaboration brews and this glass of sunshine was a great find! Crooked Stave and Westbound & Down breweries got together on this hazy, juicy DIPA called Elbow Fives.

Two awesome Colorado breweries. Crooked Stave out of Denver and Westbound & Down from Idaho Springs. A little research (but not confirmed) says that the hops used in this IPA were Azacca and Sabro. This would explain the citrus and tropical fruit flavor with notes of coconut. Nice soft mouth feel with a light carbonation. So much flavor packed into this 8.0% ABV DIPA!

I know why we have the elbow fives now, but just not into it. I suggest some nice sanitized hands and a High 5! Elbow Fives definitely deserves it.

Cheers!
