Boat Beer is so complex that drinking a few is worthwhile without being crippled by alcohol. Kölsch yeast and German malt are crispy and refreshing, while a generous amount of American hops was added to make it remarkable. The beer will dance out of the glass with a pinch of grapefruit and it will open to a crisp, stony tangle of white and yellow fruit with pine and mossy notes. An IPA for drinking everyday, drinking a beer from the boat, when you're thirsty for softball, fishing or explaining why your team is the best.
The nose is citrus & hops. The taste is a slight hoppy citrus with a note of stone fruit that ends with a light aftertaste. It's a smooth, easy to drink brew. Not bad.
