Strong, assertively hoppy and dangerously seductive. A skillful blendo of three premium barley malts with generous amounts of northern brewer and cascade hops. Ironic Ale is a highly aromatic India Pale Ale with an inviting bitterness.

bottle - Pours copper with a thin, lingering head that has good lacing. It has a nice grapefruit hops aroma. The flavor is sharp hops with not a lot of malt backing. To me the balance is off and the finish has a somewhat off taste to it. They nailed the aroma, but the taste and palate is lacking.

Brewed for Shakespeare’s Pub in Kalamazoo by Michigan Brewing Co. Bottle: hazy orange-brown body, thick dissipating cream head that leaves nice lacing. Bitter, citrusy hops nose with heavy, sweet caramely malts. Bitter, sharp hops slam the palate with notes of citrus and perfume. Caramely, sweet malts lend heft to the beer but play second fiddle to the intense hopping. This is an interesting departure from MBC’s own hoppy beers.
