Dead Ringer® is an homage to a benchmark of the American IPA style that’s brewed in Michigan. American base malt and crystal malt create the big body and supporting grainy sweetness, while charge after charge of 100% Centennial hops deliver pronounced bitterness with a dominant citrus aroma and flavor. In the glass, you get a pale amber color, hop intensity, and malt density - substance with the soul of a session beer. This IPA recipe kit has been a customer favorite for a decade.
If you enjoyed Hell's Heart IPA, you'll love this kit!
This was a test batch to look for kits that I would want to do a 5 gallon batch of. I did not do a head-to-head comparison with this kit's "inspiration" but it was pretty tasty on its own. Two other taste testers liked it as well. Will likely do a 5 gallon version in the near future.
