COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Classic Manitou Amber Ale all hopped up on "Sirrine Sensemilla" whole cone hops. 5.7% abv. Island Hopper is a very special version of our Manitou Amber Ale featuring more intense hop character overlying the classic Manitou malt body. The Spring 2015 Edition features rare, locally grown “Sirrine Sinsemilla” whole cone hops, a wild hop variety cultivated by Dr. Rob Sirrine, Michigan State University Extension Hop Specialist, based in Leelanau County. A robust, malty, amber body is offset by forward citrus and pine notes, culminating in a dry, clean finish with a slight lingering bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub. pour amber with a white head. Rich malt with a light touch of citrus and piney hops in the aroma and taste.

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2015 On tap at MBGSF 2015. Pours a deep amber with an off-white head. For aroma I mainly just get butterscotch. Butterscotch flavor as well, toasty malt, and berry. Wasn’t too big a fan of this one, which is unfortunate because I’ve enjoyed every other beer I’ve had from these folks.

Rerate at the brewery 25-Aug-2015. Pretty much the same, but some more hops in there. Still not great.
