Dead Ringer is a nod of the cap to the stalwart IPA of the upper Midwest. This devilishly simple recipe flaunts clean American base malt flavors, muted notes of caramel and then brazenly boasts the classic flavors of Centennial hops. Hell's Heart cascades into the glass with a fiery orange hue while releasing relentless wafts of dominant citrus tones of grapefruit, and then opens up into an abyss of inescapable bitterness and beastly citrus flavor.
Very good beer, but hops were not to the level I was expecting. Has improved over a week or so in the keg, so maybe it will continue to get better. Would get it again but may tweak it.

Just tapped it today. Hoppy, but not overwhelmingly so. Nice citrusy tang to it. Will definitely make again. Reminds me of Hoppy Ky Yay from Lonerider Brewing.
