Club & Brewer Notes:
Named after the C-53 Skytrooper, a variant of the C-47 Skytrain aircraft flown during WWII, this India Pale Ale (IPA) honors the aviation community in San Antonio both past and present. Known affectionately to troops as the Gooney Bird, the C-47 served as the core for soldier and equipment transport in that era. The Skytrooper IPA is brewed with Amarillo and Centennial hops giving both the aroma and taste a tropical and citrus character. The taste is clean with a balanced profile from the Marris Otter and German pale malt. A true celebration of hop aroma, flavor, and bitterness.
