Description
Penn Brewery began brewing craft beer back in 1986, making us one of the earliest pioneers in the American craft movement. We started out brewing classic lagers and German beer styles, adhering to the strict quality standards of the 16th-century Bavarian Reinheitsgebot purity laws. As we’ve expanded our lineup in recent years to include IPAs and other contemporary styles like chocolate and pumpkin beers, we’ve stayed true to our quality craftsmanship, brewing all of our beers by hand with top-tier barley and hops. We’re proud to say that Penn beers have won a total of twenty Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® medals.

A bottle from ruffenenck in ohio. Funny I got to go to ohio to find bottles of local beer, go figger. Smell like IPA and it has the look of a cloudy ipa but its not as thick or viscous looking as I was expecting. Yes, big bitter kick on the first taste, then it goes into this bitter lingering thang in the back of my throat. Wew. Yes, fools you at first, comes on rather citrus fruity then the big dull IPA thing kicks in. Finish is just that, long bitter dull ipa linger. I was hoping this was some kindah milder IPA from the name, you know, biergarten, but its just a big dull rototillen IPA. Yes, mouth coating bitter chewing on green grapefruit rinds ipa. Not impressed.

Bottle: Clear, light gold with a thin white head. Barley, honey-lemon aroma. Flavour is sweet barley malt, light fruit and grains. Not much too it...a fairly straightforward lager. Light, no off-notes.
