On the West Coast, surfers have a term for that perfect time of day, when the waves are breaking just right and it feels like you can ride forever. They call it Alchemy Hour. In Cleveland, our surfers have to work a little harder to find a perfect swell. Dressed in wetsuits, up at dawn, they camp out on the shores of Lake Erie in near-freezing temperatures, waiting for the ultimate wave. Crazy? Yes. Extreme? Definitely. Alchemy Hour Double IPA pays tribute to the North Coast's unlikely surf bums and the ancient quest for liquid gold, wherever it may live: on the ocean, in a lake, in a bottle.

    Hazy dark orange with a good sized long lasting creamy white head. Leaves a fair amount of lacing as it slithers down the glass. Sweet and fruity aroma. Also a touch floral. Flavour is well balanced with sweet malt, bread, pineapple, grapefruit lemon and pine. Full bodied and very smooth. Would not think this was 9.4% abv. Overall another very good beer by Great Lakes Brewing

    A bottle from kinger and on tap while in Ohio on recent trip. Copper colored pour with a tight white head, copious amounts of lacing. Big and hoppy - citrus, grapefruit and resiny pine palate and nose, nicely offset by malt sweetness, a touch of honey, great bitter linger. Yum is the word. Thanks Cory for turning me on to this elixir. Glad I also got to try it on tap.
