About This Beer

Seattle’s Georgetown Brewing is obsessed with Point Break. Can you blame them? This 1991 cinematic masterpiece has it all — skydiving, surfing, Buddhism, and bank robbing!

So naturally, the largest independent brewery in Seattle named its Bodhizafa IPA as an homage to Swayze’s enlightened, adrenaline-junkie crime boss character, Bodhi.

Tasting Notes

This GABF gold medal winner is just as bold as its namesake. It blends Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, and Columbus Hops for a lip-smackingly classic West Coast profile of juicy, fruit-forward sips. Surf the waves of ripe pineapple and mandarin pulp as they crest over your tastebuds, and then wipe out with a delicious finish of tropical mango and dank pine.

But no matter how extreme Bodhizafa's waves get, it remains smooth. Thanks to the addition of rolled oats, the 6.9% ABV goes down in a silky, supple-bodied blaze of glory.

Had to pour this out. Had little to no hop aroma. Very cooked beer after taking two weeks to arrive.

Rich, hoppy, & malty aroma. Not quite as punchy as I would hope, but it’s nice nonetheless. Definitely bitter and slightly dry finish. It’s pretty good.

Fizzy & Light. Not picking up on the fruity floral hop bomb that others have…

We take it when going everywhere…skiing, fishing, boating, hiking, biking…everywhere but church I guess. But it would make Sundays more fun too.

Pretty good hoppy IPA with lots of citrus overtones. A little harsh on the finish.
