Though it's name is derived from the early French explorers who first charted Wisconsin waters, La Du Bay is a right and proper English Style IPA. Liberally bittered using fine English hops to complement its prominent malt characteristics. An ideal beer to transition your palette from slumber to spring.

Bottle, bonus from Sliffy, drunk on 10/4/07
Or rather, I attempted to….It didn’t start out well, even when I opened the bottle. A spout of foam crept out of the bottle, and I poured it in the glass to reveal a rather murky, heavily sedimented maroon-copper body, with lots of beige head.
Diacetyl was certainly prominent, but that was probably the better part of the aroma....A rancid, sour, vegetal character was the worst, and dominant part. Mixing these notes with the hops just made it more strange, muddled and unpleasant. One of the few beers that I actually considered not taking a sip of (it smelled that bad). Rotten, sour and diacetyl ridden.
I did decide to put a little in my mouth, which I did not end up swallowing, as it tasted similar to the aroma. I could find some hop bitterness, but there were strange phenols, lots of butter and weird sour notes. My track record with this brewery is not good, and getting worse with every subsequent beer....I need to find some fresh bottles and rerate those, because apparently the ones I’ve been getting havent been fresh.
