In the traffic jam of big, bold American IPAs, we decided to drive on the other side of the road. Chock full of earthy English Fuggles, this hoppy beer is fun to order and even better to experience. Playful spice and orange characteristics liven up its biscuity body and lead you to a pleasant finish. For extra good measure, we throw this one on 2 types of American oak to cure and impart the wonderful qualities of light vanilla and coconut.
Preferred with a slice of carrot cake, the texture of the dessert – light and smooth – lends balance to a subtle softness across the palate. Stay for another bite and enjoy the warming of the alcohol and vanilla as they mellow the spices of the cake. The hops will finish with a scrub of the palate from butter based frosting.
