Something for TR

I passed by my local refreshment stand this evening and found this.

Reaper Ale, Sleighor Double IPA.

It's tasty.

Perhaps this can be an official beer of ProfessionalSoldiers.com?

Their website says the Double IPA is a limited brewing. I'm going to have to try their Stout.

BTW, TR they show a pretty sweet hitch cover on their site.Hitch

A double IPA is a very new beer style, it is BIG in flavor, alcohol, bitterness. I am proud to say that I was at the forefront of the double IPA sensation, brewing them before they were even considered for consideration as a style. You will see them listed as Double IPA's, Imperial IPA's & I2PA's and generally are somewhere about 9%-12% alcohol. They should be considered a monster ass kicking beer!


I have not had this particular one but it has some very respectable ratings from people who I trust.


Here is a link to the full front label.
