It’s been a while since I’ve had a Hi-Wire Brewing beer. This seasonal beer (September through December) is Elated Winter IPA, which is 6.2% ABV. This IPA has Michigan Chinook and Idaho 7 hops. This beer comes in sixteen-ounce six-packs, which is not seen at all. Usually, it’s sixteen-ounce four-packs. This IPA pours a copper with a one-and-a-half-finger white head that is steady to fade. The aroma is bitter, piney, and light caramel. The flavor is caramel, pine notes, bitter/hoppy, and light onion, and I got a bread flavor. This has a light to almost medium feeling in the mouth. It came with a nice piney caramel finish. This IPA had the right amount of bitterness. I think Elated Winter IPA is a B+. It has all the right winter IPA flavors that aren’t too bold and in your face. I wouldn’t pass on Elated Winter IPA. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
