A medium-bodied and well hopped India Pale Ale with a dry, fruity aftertaste. This monumental India Pale Ale honors the hero from The War of 1812 who battled the enemy on Lake Erie. Origin of style: The Bow Brewery in London exported this pale ale to the multitude of British soldiers, colonial administrators and settlers in India. This pale ale style was a strong candidate for shipping due to the high potency and high level of attenuation.

Golden Ale with a relatively light scent. Light tasting with a hoppy aftertaste that is pleasant and not overpowering. a pretty simple beer that is refreshing but not really special in any particular way.
