This dark brown, hoppy ale takes the IPA style into unfamiliar depths of color. Amarillo hops provide the hoppy flavors and aromas of an India Pale Ale complemented by subtle chocolaty roasted notes from the dark malts. The malt bill is very close to that for Copperhead but with the addition of some dark roasted malt for color and flavor. The Amarillo hops are a potent American variety with a distinctive flavor and aroma.

    Brought a growler home with me from the brewpub. I pour a mahogany with ruby hightlights. Pour out of a growler, so there was no real head to speak of. There is a high Amarillo aroma. There is also some light roast notes, Carafa? Neutral yeast character. There is a pretty intense citrus flavor with some roast and hop bitterness. I find it pretty thin, puckering, and dry. Worth a try for hop heads, but others beware.
