Mankato Haymaker IPA

The Mankato Brewery is in North Mankato, Minnesota. It is the first production brewery to be in that city since 1967. This malty heavy IPA is double dry hopped and comes in at 6.5% ABV and 92 IBU's. 

The beer pours a very dark copper to medium brown in color. It has a tall head of thick light tan foam. The aroma is citrus, orange, lemon and lime. The malt is french bread, light caramel and strong iced tea. The taste follows the aromas quite directly. It is very malty, lots of strong tea with citrus and a quite bitter finish. The name comes from the fighting between the hops and malt in this beer.
