Unconventional rocky tan-headed amber-hazed medium-bodied Munich-styled helles lager (nicknamed after Krampus, a fanged Christmas devil) reveals ambitious moderate-bodied India Pale Ale character hop-heads will find unexpectedly profound. Brashly inventive, its woody Chinook hop bittering, usually reserved for dryer pale ales, adds wintry evergreen pining to floral fruited frequency of inventive hybrid. Sugared malts sweeten apple-candied peach-pineapple-melon tang and juicy grapefruit sourness girding boozy 9% alcohol whir. Herbaceous white-peppered ginger-spearmint reminder adds further depth. ‘Diabolical,’ indeed.
