Autumn, that time of year when the leaves change color, the sun hides behind the clouds, the darkness arrives earlier and stays around later than before, and a chill sets in throughout the day. That time of year when the light, crisp, fruity lager, or Witbier just aint cutting it anymore. That time of year when you are looking for something richer, maltier, bolder, packed with warm malts, resiny and piney hops, and flavors of Fall. Couple this with the fresh harvest of hops that are begging to be used, and it is time for an Autumn IPA.
