Player Stats: Get ready to be slammed by hops. This monster, west coast style IPA will have your taste buds screaming for mercy. Our 4 part hop attack begins with a massive dose early in the boil for bitterness. We balance this with a blend of crystal malts to let your sense recover just long enough for the next wave of citrusy hop flavor to knock you down. The final two additions are for aroma and more aroma. You will feel like someone has shoved your face into a pile of fresh, American hops. This beer also sports a beautiful copper color and a clean, smooth finish.

Opponent: Pike IPA

|
Player: Harpoon IPA
Team: Harpoon Brewery
Player Stats: The pronounced hop aroma and the deep copper color make an immediate sensory impression. The aroma is floral, distinctly different from the herbal, spicy, or “cut grass” aromas of other hop varieties.
Harpoon IPA has three malts, adding toasted and malty flavors. Along with the third malt, a 2-row pale, there is an abundance of fermentable sugar to be converted into alcohol, which accounts for the relatively high original gravity. These sugars ferment fully and leaving no residual sweetness.
The high hopping 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.
It has a floral nose with a medium body and an aggressive, clean hop finish.

Player: Lakefront IPA
Team: Lakefront Brewery
Player Stats: Pours a hazy orange with a rocky white head that lasts, and leaves soft lace on your glass as you sip this refreshing beer. Hops dominate the aroma, yielding a citrusy, floral bouquet. The hops give a nice bitter bite to the flavor, but this beer is surprisingly well balanced with a full body and smooth malty flavor to back up the hops. It finishes smooth and crisp with a lingering hop flavor reminiscent of fresh ruby red grapefruit.
