"India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma."The overall score on Beer Advocate is a 91-Outstanding. Jason states: "A super hoppy brew with a puckering dryness that I would only put up against the sharpest of cheddars. A hop heads delight without a doubt."
It comes in an unassuming brown cardboard case. The 7% ABV could scare away the uninitiated, but don't be afraid. I am thoroughly enjoying my case of this specimen from Bell's Brewery in Michigan.
The only opportunity I've had to share one with a friend, however, did not lead to similar results. It is quite bitter and has a strong alcohol flavor. So be forewarned... It's for reals!
