Dean-O, he was a great man and like a father figure to a lot of us youngsters that were normally up to no good as we grew up. He was lost way too soon, and to honor him and the light beer drinking man that he was (although he was starting to like some hops), we decided a cold IPA would be perfect. It's like mashing together a lager and an IPA. We dry hopped this one with Columbus, Citra, and Strata hops. Soar high Dean-O, you'll truly be missed.
