Leviathan Harpoon IPA
Judges Ratings 
Description 

This Imperial IPA is brewed with loads of pale malt and just enough caramel malt to provide a sweet malt backbone to balance the hop intensity. We used a mix of our favorite American hops including Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, and Amarillo to create a complex hop flavor and lingering bitterness. Harpoon’s proprietary yeast lends fruity esters, while dry-hopping at the rate of over one pound per barrel produces this beer’s massive aroma.

Description 

We took some fresh Sanguinello Blood Oranges, juiced 'em, concentrated that juice (without heat) and threw it into a wheatier version of our New DogTown Pale Ale. The end result? A refreshingly hopped pale-ish ale with a huge citrus burst!

Description 

Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.

Judges Ratings 
Description 

Descriptive paragraph about the beer: Think classic seafaring ports, local pubs and weathered old fishermen. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then oak-aged. The result is a rich, malty delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable.
