American IPA brewed exclusively with Simcoe hops
All hail the Simcoe hops, featured exclusively in ControversiAle for an earthy and pine laced aroma combined with zesty grapefruit and hop marmalade that goes down easy like a pale ale but with the depth and complexity of an American IPA with multiple hop additions. As for the name? Well, let’s just say this beer has a history.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, citrusy hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
