Great Lakes Chillwave Double IPA (ABV 9.4%) is inspired by Lake Eries dedicated (and often chilly!) surf community. This very highly rated Double IPA is a heartier, hoppier version of the traditional IPA with a higher alcohol content. Chillwave pours a dark and slightly cloudy copper color, with an aroma dominated by honey malts mixed with hoppy elements of citrus, mango and pine. Flavor is intense and hop-forward with an IBU rating of 80, and more of the complex resin and tropical fruit notes that are apparent in the aroma. The brew is smooth and well-balanced, with fine effervescence and an end note of flavorful hops that lingers. 12 oz. cans.
