Beer Release (Short's Brew): Juicy Tree

Well, 2013 is quickly coming to an end...and might I simply say it's been a great year for beer. We at Short's have one more specialty offering that will be hitting shelves soon...

It's called Juicy Tree--and from what I recall, it's damn good.

An American IPA brewed with blue spruce tips, cranberries, and juniper berries, Juicy Tree was first brewed in February of 2012. Originally intended to be a Christmas time brew, time slipped us by and we weren't able to get it into production until a few months after. Still, it was seasonally appropriate and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. This year, we've taken Juicy Tree to the next level and are releasing it in six packs throughout Michigan.

I expect this beer to sell FAST. Good luck, and happy holidays!

Juicy Tree~ 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 fruity qualities of American Ale yeast all contribute to symmetry of this beer. The finish is laced with a resiny stickiness that flows naturally into a lasting bitterness.
ABV 7.5%
IBU 110

 

Either at the end of this week, or the next.

 

Thanks for adding the picture--I copied this from my email and received a picture error once, as well. It's been working most of the time, but it's probably since it is from my email.

 

You know it!
