This hop monster shows no mercy. Seven insane additions of different hops create an assertive hop aroma of tropical fruits and citrus followed by fresh flavors of mango, pineapple, grapefruit and even coconut throughout each sip. Backed by a medium body and pleasantly pale-gold colored, this beer is brewed with 2-Row and caramel malts that can stand up to a beast of hops. Whether or not the Scepter Head actually exists doesn’t matter. Just don’t let her drink your beer.

Sample (as Scepter IPA) during the ElkMoose Me, But Why Is Your Glass MT? event on 07/10/2020. Pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, tropical fruit and bready malt. Medium body with flavors of grassy hop, melon, citrus and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Draft at Dillon Tap House. Dark golden, hazy, small creamy head. Light peppery, spicy aroma. Taste also centers on the peppers, with the malt and hops providing support for this thick, creamy brew.

12 oz can from a six pack. My can reads Draught Works Scepter, no Head. I'm thinking this must be the same beer. Bought this in Haugen, MT, next to the $50,000 Bar. Aroma is cantaloupe, citrus peel, oranges, clean. Pours clear new penny copper with a thick off white soapy head with excellent retention and layers of lace. Taste is medium level bitter with a shit ton of juicy citrus hop flavor. Wow, this is unexpectedly awesome. I bought this beer from a brewery I've never heard of in this little no name convenience store in this tiny little town, thinking I'd be getting either a run of the mill or substandard beer, but it's super good. Just a really crisp, clean hoppy brew. I'll be on the lookout for more from this brewery for sure.

355ml can. (6.1% ABV) Pours a clear orange-gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of mango, pineapple, peach, apricot, orange, tangerine, grapefruit and pine with a biscuit malt backbone. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, biscuit, peach, mango, pineapple, apricot, grapefruit, tangerine and orange with a dry, bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Decent.
