India Pale Ale style well suited for
adventurous trips to the Upper
Peninsula. American malts and
enormous hop additions give
this beer a crisp finish and
incredible floral hop aroma.

Appearance: Pours a dark gold to orange and is clear until the end of the pour when some of the sediment is picked up from the bottle. Rocky white head that reduces to one finger with great lacing.
Aroma: Sweet malt but is dominated by pine, citrusy grapfruit, pineapple, and some floral hues. Grapefruit/floral hops are the showcase of this beer.
Flavor: Complex hop bitterness and flavor. The taste matches the nose. A tinge of malt sweetness up front moving into big floral, citrus, and fruit hopiness. Bitterness does not overpower this IPA and it is in a perfect balance of malt and hops.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to medium carbonation. Velvety smooth on the palate.
Overall: I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is one of the best IPAs out there. This beer weighs in at 7% but it is so drinkable and flavorful they will catch up with you. This beer gives Pliny the Elder a run for it's money and I just wish Bell's would distribute to Colorado.
