Lenawee IPA

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012  |  Categories: Beer, In the News, Miscellaneous, Seasonal Beers

Lenawee India Pale Ale.  Well folks, it’s finally here: Dillon DAM Brewery’s first big batch of IPA.  It is the anti-thesis of a balanced beer:  light in color and malt, with barely a hint of reddish-orange in its deep golden hue, but hugely hopped to tingle the tongues of the most demanding Hop-Heads!  Piney Chinook and Spicy Columbus play nicely with the classic Citrusy-Floral Cascade and a good dose of Hopunion’s special blend of Northwest hops, Falconer’s Flight for a hop sensation that’ll feel like it left claw marks across your tongue and leaves you begging for mercy…or more, if hops is all you wanted to taste today!!  Are you ready for the DAM HOPPINESS!?!??  Slightly over 6% ABV
