Our summer ale is for hop lovers! Huge amounts of Centennial and Magnum hops are used in the boil of this IPA style. Further we take an additional step to dry-hop the fermenting brew in the tank with ample amounts of Cascade hops. All of these hop flowers add a unique and pleasant citrusy flavor perfect with spicy backyard barbeques! Although the focus is on the hops a substantial amount of Munich malt provides a nice backbone for this unique version of Summer Ale.

Fleeting hops for an all too fleeting season. Following the pour, you notice a copper colored ale with a fluffy head that is retained for a respectable amount of time. The smell is all hops and when you sip you are met with a hoppy punch that promptly gives way to a mellow bread taste. This beer sits creamily in your mouth but departs with a final dry and bitter tinge. The bitter hops are presented, retracted, and replaced by smooth summer freshness, which makes for a happy summer session beer.

On draft at the brewery.

Poured a medium copper hue with a two finger frothy white head. There was good retention and lacing.

The smell featured piney and citric hops and a slightly toasted malt.

The taste offered an initial burst of citrusy hops that transitioned into a prickly pine on the tongue. A husky pale malt rounded out the flavor.

The mouthfeel was of average fullness for the style.

Overall a very tasty alternative to the lighter summer offerings.
