India Pale Ale with Natural Flavor
One of our brewers had a dream (seriously!) involving a beer-drinking Pegasus who loves to kick around in northern Michigan in the summer. That dream becomes a reality in Chuggasus, the first ever beer in our Brewniverse Presents series. A place for our brewers dreams to come to fruition, Chuggasus comes out the gate flying fast with a whole lotta haze and a massively tropical hop bill. This DDH IPA is full of passionfruit, orange, and guava flavors thanks to copious amounts of El Dorado and Galaxy Hops. Saddle up, friends.

Hazy medium orange body with loads of sediment; thin cream head. Tropical fruit juice nose. Passionfruit and guava are prominent in the body, and orange rind provides some tannic/bitter balance. Tastes like it has fruit extract, but I find no mention of this. If strictly hops, it's a pretty impressive feat. It hits a little hot and isn't as creamy as most Hazy IPAs, but it's interesting and worth a try.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a full finger of off-white head that dissipates. Dreamsicle aromas on the nose with skittles and other tropical fruit notes. More of the same on the palate with an astringent bitter finish. Is there lactose in this?
