Battery Steele 9TH Anniversary Flume

Celebrating nine years of brewing innovation, Battery Steele's 9TH ANNIVERSARY FLUME is an American IPA that stands out with its unique hop blend and dynamic character. Hailing from the craft beer haven of Maine, this special brew embodies the essence of a hazy IPA, offering a rich and layered experience that's bound to captivate both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. Expect a swirling medley of hop-driven aromas that dance between citrus zest and tropical fruit notes, characteristic of styles like this. While the exact bitterness is not specified, the 8.0% ABV suggests a robust balance, ensuring that the beer's malt backbone provides a smooth, satisfying finish without overpowering the hop profile. Its thick, hazy appearance is a visual promise of the depth and complexity that follows in each sip. For the best experience, serve the 9TH ANNIVERSARY FLUME at a temperature between 45-50°F to allow its intricate flavors to unfold completely. A tulip glass is ideal for this beer, as it captures the aromatic nuances while allowing the frothy head to develop and retain its delightful character. Pair this IPA with spicy dishes like buffalo wings or a Thai curry, where its fruity complexity can complement and contrast the heat. Alternatively, it can also be a delightful companion to a sharp, aged cheddar, where the rich flavors can meld beautifully with the beer’s malty undertones. Battery Steele’s 9TH ANNIVERSARY FLUME is a testament to the brewery's enduring commitment to crafting beers that not only mark milestones but also push the boundaries of flavor and style.
