Excelsior Minnehahop IPA India Pale Ale

Excelsior Minnehahop IPA India Pale Ale. 5.9 % Alc/vol. 55 IBU. Excelsior Brewing, Excelsior, MN.

Hazy, dark, murky orange, prodigious creamy head drifts down to a slim ring.

In the nose: funky, dank, resinous. Fresh hoppiness.

In the mouth: More dank, more delicious. Medium bodied, long lasting hoppy flavor. Hits juicy once in a while, but sticks with the dry. Sticky-icky. I like this one. It's a bit of a mess, but I like it, all the same. I wouldn't drink it by the 6-er, but once in a while, sure.


A crisp dry IPA chock full of Citra, Amarillo and Sorachi Ace hops. 
Our newest IPA is named after The Minnehaha Steam Boat that was salvaged from the bottom of the lake in 1979 and restored in 1996. You can now cruise the lake on the Minnehaha all summer long with the help of 100's of volunteers that maintain the boat every year.
