COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This summer ale is a salute to our friends and MN musical group The Fabulous Armadillos. Made with experimental Armadillo hops, a cousin of the famous Amarillo variety, this Session IPA has a wonderful hop aroma yet remains refreshing and light. A late addition of Armadillo hops contribute tangerine and clementine flavors and aromas with a hint of honey dew melon. Then we dry hopped it with a ridiculous amount of Australian Summer hops giving this beer an apricot and melon nose. At only 4.7% ABV you can enjoy a few pints and still get your hop fix. Rock on!

Tap at the taproom. Clear orange-gold pour with a white spotty head. Melon and tangerine aroma. Light but lively palate. A little bitter on the finish.

islay (1624) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUN 28, 2015
5.5 oz. pour, on tap at the brewery’s taproom in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Consumed on 6-26-15. Pours a clear bronze with a small amount of beige head. Dry, dusty aroma features scents of cigarette tobacco and chalk. A touch of vomit in the aroma, but not in an offputting way, believe it or not. An undercurrent of citrus and pine in the smell. Malty for the style. Nice flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and pine with a bitter finish. Light body. Fluffy and frothy in the palate. Well and professionally made.
