Crow Peak 11th Hour IPA

Hailing from Spearfish, South Dakota, Crow Peak brewery produces some fine beers, and this is certainly one of them. Pours a clear golden color, with a tall frothy head that maintains its integrity for several minutes, bestowing me with a great beer mustache. Hoppy, but not in the let's-dump-a-lot-of -hops-in-to-disguise-its-mediocrity manner that you often get with India Pale Ales. But beneath the hoppy surface there's a lot going on: lemons, orange, tangerine, and even a little tart apple. And for an IPA, 11th Hour is very drinkable, even sessionable. Look for more reviews on the Crow Peak family of beers.
