Teddy Hopper

Balanced malt, "heady" hops, Vermont well water....not a clone, but a beer that falls somewhere between an IPA and a double IPA. Hops=Warrior for clean bittering, Centennial for that classic floral/citrus flavor, a 1-2 punch of Citra and Simcoe for an intense hop finish that includes a wide range of aromas and flavors, from dank and piny to bright and fruity.
