Hopped-up to the max, deep ruby in color, with a smooth as silk mouthfeel and an almost pungent piney aroma. Malts bone-up their magic with a hearty, biscuity, almost rustic touch of flavor and a slightly bitter fruitiness. A creamy head always tops it off. Bonefide with a gold medal at the GABF.<br><br>A full bodied Imperial Red Ale brewed with a massive amount of Pacific Northwest hops that are complemented by caramel malts. Dry hopped and hop-backed with Simcoe hops give this beer it’s pungent piney aroma.<br><br>Silver Medal: Frogs Like Possum<br>King's Court Brewing Co – Poughkeepsie, NY<br><br>9% ABV<br><br>Notes from Brewery : 2019 GABF Silver Medal Winner!
