    MICHIGAN ONLY


    Juicy Tree     is an experimental India Pale Ale made with blue spruce tips, juniper berries, and cranberries. Big aromatics of piney evergreen and sweet berries tingle the senses. After some slightly tart and tangy flavors up front, a harmonious balance between pleasant fruit sweetness and bitter pine is reached. A sizable malt bill, ample hop additions, and the floral qualities of American Ale yeast, all contribute to symmetry of this beer.

    7.5% ABV
    65 IBU

    Just in time to show up under my tree. People think I am nuts, but this is a top 3 Shorts for me. Such a unique brew.

    @HopHeadHerman I see Twisted Cane just made it to shelves in the area. Is this the first time making this beer?

    Got it. To avoid confusion, they should have named it Her Black Wings. That's just the Danzig fan talking

    Love it. I can't see this brew and not sing "O Juicy Tree, o Juicy Tree."

    Got my (first) 6 pack yesterday and it is delish as usual!

    Also, I may be a Short's fanboy: I counted 11 different Short's bottles in my beer fridge.
