    Ale La Rev has been bottled and is awaiting distribution!

    I'm a huge fan of session beers and this is certainly one of my favorites. Hopefully, it will be hitting stores within a week or two.

    A distinctively dry, light bodied IPA with an appealing golden hue, thirst-quenching crispness, and laden with pungent hop aromas of citrus and spruce. Semi-sweet malt provides a backdrop for some mild earthy flavors and slight grassy notes. Doubling the dry-hop additions allows for lower alcohol levels, while still providing the entire hop effect expected of an IPA.

    Sidenote: I know this has nothing to do with the beer itself, but is this label sweet or what?!

    AND don't forget about our Fall seasonal, Autumn Ale (ESB), which has just begun to hit stores throughout Michigan!

    I love Ale la Rev! I picked up a few 6ers while at Short's over Labor Day weekend, had some on draft too. I'll def be picking up another 6 pack or 2 when it hits my area.

    Prolonged Enjoyment is still my favorite Short's session, but this one is a close second. I agree with steebo though, you (or my wife will be) are killing me with a new release each week and I haven't even picked up any Noble Chaos yet.

    How limited is this? Similar to Key Lime/Peaches and Cream?

    Shouldn't it be in Royal Oak first since Royal Oak is closing to Elk Rapids than Ferndale?:wink:
