Lake Bait
Lake Bait is a 7% West Coast-style IPA brewed with Firestone Walker, who made the trek to Minnesota. Cryo Krush, Anchovy, Mosaic and Warrior hops deliver aromas of tangerine, mixed berries and watermelon hard candy, with tropical guava and fresh mango. It finishes dry yet balanced with a resinous hop character and a smooth bitterness. Pale gold, brewed with Pilsner malt, Carafoam and flaked oats.
