Dead Ringer is a larger-than-life American IPA beer recipe kit with a thick hop aroma you can almost see it. American-base malt and crystal malt create a big body and support grainy sweetness. At the same time, charge after charge of 100 percent Centennial hops deliver pronounced bitterness with a dominant citrus aroma and flavor.

Tasting Notes:

  • Aroma: Moderate malt aroma consisting of fresh bread and medium sweet caramel. Medium-high hop presence of citrus and floral notes.
  • Appearance: Orange hue with a bright white persistent foam cap. Slightly cloudy from dry hopping.
  • Flavor: Rich maltiness with a moderate caramel flavor. Medium-high bitterness with citrus, floral, and slightly earthy notes.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate creaminess and medium carbonation, leaving a smooth finish.

In the glass, these ingredients combine to give you a pale amber color, hop intensity, and malt density: substance with the soul of a sessionable craft beer. This IPA recipe kit has been a customer favorite for a decade. Dead Ringer is an homage to a legendary American IPA style brewed in Michigan. And according to countless homebrewers, it's dead on.
