Player: Crooked Tree IPA
Team: Dark Horse Brewing Co.
Player Stats: Inspired by West Coast I.P.A.'s, but brewed with Michigan style. The Crooked Tree is heavily dry hopped to give it a big aroma of pine and citrus. The flavors are big, yet very balanced between fresh hops and malt. Often described as "grapefruit" our hops give this beer an excellent fruit flavor that finishes dry, crisp, and clean. It will pour a nice deep copper color with a bit of haziness. Because of our almost patented "Intense Transfer Methods" our Crooked Tree has won several medals in the India Pale Ale category.
ABV: 6.0%

Player: Harpoon IPA
Team: Harpoon Brewery
Player Stats:
The high hopping of Harpoon IPA is not only noticeable in the nose but especially in the finish. The lingering bitter finish of this beer is not harsh or astringent, but crisp and pronounced. This is created, in part, by dry
hopping - a technique that involves adding fresh hops to the conditioning
beer to provide a fresh hop aroma. This beer is floral, medium body with an aggressive, clean hop finish.

Generous additions of high-alpha Pacific Northwest hops added during a vigorous boil, plus traditional dry hopping, with whole hop cones, give this ale a delicious citrus aroma, and an intense hoppy bite. This IPA is a hop lover's dream.

Player: Lagunitas IPA
Team: Lagunitas Brewing Co.
Player Stats:
This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice enroute, nor as old as the 10,000 or so miles of Di-Hydrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentloid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again, now stop. Think again, and stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on.

Long Hammer embraces the IPA tradition of a strong hop profile while remaining approachable and easy to drink with its smooth flavor and clean finish.

Player: Monty's Fathead IPA
Team: Custom Brewcrafters
Player Stats:
Watch out west coast IPAs, here comes the Fathead! Hops, hops and more hops in this luscious, dark amber IPA. The secret is the subtle blend of 3 different American hop varieties, offset by the deep caramel flavor of the specialty malts. We added Pale malt to this recipe until it tipped the scales at just over 6.5% alcohol by volume, making it a beer to be reckoned with. The Vienna and crystal malts give the beer its lovely reddish-copper color and fine malt flavor.
