Serum is our version of a Double(Imperial) India Pale Ale. It is aggressively hopped at several stages of the brewing process including a dry hopping that takes place little by little over a 2 week period. With an OG close to 19Plato, this beer is big and hoppy, yet has a strong malt backbone that keeps the huge hop bitterness from being overbearing.

Tap: Pours a hazy orange with white color head. Nose is very hoppy and lively. Taste is gritty hops that leaves way to a nice smooth malt finish.

This beer is a mostly clear dark amber color with a white head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of piney hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of hops, citrus and pine plus a sweet malty undertone. The finish is resiny hops with a lingering caramel malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tap at BWI, courtesy of steptin - thanks! Cloudy deep golden brown, tan head, massive lacing. Aroma of tall grass and straw. Taste is wet grass, citrus/lime. Good balance. Not overly exciting, but one of this brewery’s better offerings.

Brown-tinged orange. Bursting citric hops (centennial?) evoke wood, grapefruit and lemon. Fat, chewy flavours simultaneously coat your tongue with chocolate malts and citric hops. Smooth...with caramel overtones. A little drippy in terms of hopping, which is the only real complaint. Otherwise quite well-made.
