    I've been noticing over the past few months that Lakefront's IPA has seemed to changed in flavor, less citrusy and a little more malty. Recently I was looking at the bottle and the ABV has gone from 7.1 to 6.6. Any one else notice this?

    Did you attempt to contact the brewery? Might be the best source for info...

    I thought it was always 6.6? Maybe I just never looked until recently, but besides Two Hearted and Summit Saga I drink more Lakefront IPA then all others and I have not noticed anything. Is it just one 6 pack that you are noticing the flavor difference? Or have you noticed it in a lot of batches. I have noticed this beer seems to have a pretty big batch to batch difference.... Always good, sometimes amazing!
