Tasting Notes
We're turning things deliciously upside down with this aggressively hopped, cold-fermented brew that brings together the clean, crisp finish of a lager with the hoppy aroma and character of an IPA. Hopside Down is our take on an India Pale Lager -- or IPL. This second release in our Rotator IPA series in 2013 offers a big floral hop aroma and a refreshing dry, mildly bitter finish perfect for the warmer summer months.
Whoa, 6.7%? Deceptively easy to get drunk on. Other than that, Hopside Down is exactly as described: half-lager, half-IPA. Refreshing, without the aggressively-hopped character of a full-on IPA. Super easy-drinking.
