Dissenter (2014)

Lager - IPL (India Pale Lager)

It’s been a dozen years since we’ve brewed a lager—and, true to form, we’re going big with Dissenter India Pale Lager, our argument in favor of the potential for complex lagers. Brewed with a wide variety of tropical, citrus-forward hops, Dissenter clocks in at 8.7% ABV and 70 IBUs. Our ales are fermented at warm temperatures, but this lager is fermented cold, using a different kind of yeast. The longer brewing process used for lagers gives Dissenter an exceptionally clean finish, allowing you to appreciate the clear beauty of the hops as you would a well thought out, eloquent dissenting opinion. We’ll let this one speak for itself.

Who can tell when you have a head cold. I didn’t think it was too bad.

I liked the previous version much better. This one is a little flat.

9 year old IPA smoothed out quite a bit.

Thought I'd crack open a Michigan-based brewery's beer for National Detroit-Style Pizza Day. This one cellared for 8 years! Definitely some sediment, but taste is excellent. Never had this before, but can't imagine there was any drop off in flavor.

Malty golden smell. Floral hop with caramel malt backbone, slight boozy. Medium full body with very little carb at this point

Sweet floral nose of honey and citrus marmalade. This one is well past its prime. Musty, dusty and weird odd grain thing going on. Just enough to finish my 4 oz. pour.

Nose: malt, oak, hint of dry grass. Smooth, malty, and well balanced. Very nice. Buy if you can find it.
