Sensory Description:

Assertive hop aromatics lead the way, offering bright grapefruit peel, pine resin, and a touch of dank citrus from the classic American hop trio. On the palate, firm bitterness is balanced by a subtle caramel backbone from crystal malt, giving the beer structure without sweetness taking over. Flavors of orange zest, pine needle, and light floral spice unfold with precision, finishing dry, clean, and confidently bitter, textbook American IPA character with no distractions.

Brewer's Background:

Founded in 2013 in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood, Diebolt Brewing Company is a family-owned operation rooted in generations of fermentation tradition, stretching from Champagne-making relatives in France to modern Colorado craft brewing. Operating out of a restored 1950s brick building, Diebolt brews, ferments, packages, and self-distributes all of its beer onsite. While the brewery originally explored French-inspired styles, it has evolved alongside the craft beer landscape, embracing creativity while maintaining technical discipline and a deep respect for classic styles.

Serving Suggestions:

Pour cold into a nonic pint or tulip glass to showcase hop aromatics and bitterness. This IPA shines alongside spicy chicken wings, burgers hot off the grill, sharp cheddar, or salty bar snacks. Best enjoyed fresh, loud music on, surrounded by friends who appreciate a no-nonsense hop punch.

Driven by tradition and brewed with conviction, Diebolt Brewing's ‘Bolt of Inspiration’ American IPA delivers exactly what it promises, a flash of classic hop brilliance that cuts through the noise and hits with purpose.
