• 3rd place American Pale Ale Category at 2013 Kansas City Hopfest
I wanted to create a American IPA with a lower ABV, good malt complexity and better head retention. After taste testing, I decided it wasn't hoppy enough for a IPA. I choose to enter it in some competitions as a American Pale Ale and it has scored well.
Spriggans were depicted as grotesquely ugly, and were said to be found at old ruins and barrows guarding buried treasure and generally acting as fairy bodyguards. They were also said to be busy thieves. Though usually small, they had the ability to swell to enormous size (they were sometimes speculated to be the ghosts of the old giants).
