Earth Rider Caribou Lake India Pale Ale

Earth Rider Caribou Lake India Pale Ale. 7.4 % ABV, 84 IBU. Earth Rider Brewing, Superior, Wisconsin.

Clear, pale amber color, creamy, lasting head, leaving lace.

In the nose: aggressive hops, resinous hop notes. Big fruit, bright citrus. Beautifully bitter.

In the mouth: Big, bold, aggressive hop blast at the top. Juicy malt base. Tasty stuff here. Fairly mellow and quite drinkable. Plenty of flavor in this, plenty of hops, just right for my kind of IPA.


Hop aromas of pine and berry harken to lakes of the far North. 
A prominent malt backbone balances moderate hop bitterness. Hold fast.
