Beer Snob | December 10th, 2014

By Krissy Ness

Summit - Harvest Fresh IPA (ABV 7% IBU 70, Minnesota) This transparent copper-colored beer possesses a fluffy white head that rises to the sky. The evident aroma of cascade, centennial and chinook hops rises from the glass while this beer finishes crisp and clean.

JL Beers - Hoppin’ Wet (ABV 6.7% IBU 70, JL Beers Brew) Cascade hops escape this light copper IPA providing a luscious, frothy white head that leaves attractive lacing on the glass. A crisp beginning starts this beer, followed by a slight tingle, and it finishes clean and bright.

Schell’s – Fresh Hopped Equinox Pilsner (ABV 5% IBU 45,Minnesota) This pilsner is fresh hopped with mosaic hops and has a straw colored body that possesses a decent head, which settles quickly. This light-bodied beer is full of flavor that lingers long after.

Sierra Nevada – Celebration (ABV 6.8% IBU 65, California) Deep copper in color, this IPA is fresh hopped with chinook, centennial and cascade hops. A delectable head and beautiful lacing really add to the beauty of this beer. Subtle caramel notes seep through the malty medium body.

Deschutes – Hop Trip (ABV 5.9% IBU 38, Oregon) This Pale Ale is packed with nugget, centennial and fresh crystal hops, which create a malty beer with a caramel, yet citrusy, tone. A bountiful head sits atop this beer while leaving a beautiful laced glass behind.
