Piney
SPRUCE TIP IPA
7.5% ABV | 55 IBU
This seasonal IPA is aromatic, earthy and bold. Amber-hued but bright with flavors of pine and citrus from MI Chinook, Perle, Pacific Northwest Centennial hops. The combination of hops and spruce tips give way to a harmonious resinous mash up. The mellow malt character and towering hop profile create an effervescent IPA as stately as a Spruce.
As winter nears, the powerful North Wind whisks through the woods. Instructed by the Frost King to leave every spruce, pine, and juniper tree untouched, as a safe haven for woodland creatures and birds. The North Wind playfully plucks every leaf from the willows, oak, and birch. These trees are left bleak and barren, while the spruce forever stands green and full, earning the epithet of Evergreen.
