Devil’s Lettuce is a wet-hopped India Pale Lager made with fresh hops from the Michigan Hop Alliance. The nose is full of big hoppy aromatics of citrus zest and subtle spice. Low malt flavors allow for an array of hoppy attributes ranging from fruity lemon to an earthy grassiness, with an instant bitter impact. A clean lager finish amplifies the overall bitterness which resonates across the palate.

Bottle to pint glass. Drinking this when MSU beat U-M! Lots of green on the palate. Zesty, complex. Wouldn’t drink this (or any wet-hop) regularly but definitely enjoy it on occasion.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 10/2/2015. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of big lemon zest, tangerine, orange peel, peach, guava, pepper, spruce, pine, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of dank citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big lemon zest, tangerine, orange peel, peach, guava, spruce, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Large amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, tangerine, orange peel, peach, guava, spruce, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity and robustness of big dank citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light pale malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance and some light lingering hop astringency after the finish; but not too bad. High amount of dryness after the finish from bitterness and minimal malt flavors. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice wet hopped IPL style. All around great complexity and robustness of dank citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
