Our Impression: This beer is a dedication to "The Moose." The Moose has a love for all beer, especially IPA's. As The Moose trotted into winter territory, he sought a big, bold, delicious IPA to satisfy his alcoholic cravings. When The Moose knocks at your door, you answer.

 

The Moose is a bold Double IPA, meant to be enjoyed in the cold winter months. While most Double IPA's can be cloying and overbearing, The Moose retains its elegance while still drinking at 9.5% abv. It is driven by tropical fruit but retains a subtle maltiness. Old world ingredients, new world IPA.
