One of our brewers had a dream (seriously!) involving a beer-drinking Pegasus who loves to kick around in northern Michigan in the summer. That dream becomes a reality in Chuggasus, the first ever beer in our Brewniverse Presents series. A place for our brewers dreams to come to fruition, Chuggasus comes out the gate flying fast with a whole lotta haze and a massively tropical hop bill. This DDH IPA is full of passionfruit, orange, and guava flavors thanks to copious amounts of El Dorado and Galaxy Hops. Saddle up, friends.

August 2022 Specialty Release - 4 pack
12 oz. can dated 080122 (08/01/22) - 8.6% ABV / 110 IBU
Brewed and canned in Elk Rapids, MI
Poured into a Bell's branded nonic pint glass

Look - Pours a thick and fluffy off-white head that sticks around. Hazy, light to dark orange appearance.
Smell - The scent is mostly pineapple and tangerine with a lot of berry and grape qualities in the afterscent.
Taste - The taste follows the scent with a huge amount of bitterness.
Feel - Mouthfeel is sharp and maybe crisp with a dry finish.
Overall - Way too bitter and sour for the average folk, but OK.

Hazy, tan, apricot in color. Minimal lacing with moderate bubbles. Explosion of tropical fruit aromas. Papaya, passion fruit. Taste follows aroma, with maybe a little pineapple. Finishes with a semi dry bite which I prefer over some syrupy ones in this style. Aroma and flavors are the highlights of this beer. I’m usually not drawn to this style, but this is one of the best I’ve had.
