Denard Brewing

This beer is extremely difficult to categorize. It's black, but not a stout or a porter. It's hoppy but not bitter like an IPA. It's has extremely Tropical notes. It rebels against convention just like those who fly the Black Flag. I've decided it is a new category of beer. It's a Tropical Ale. 

This Tropical Ale has hints of coconut, lime, and passion fruit. It's really great for warm weather and ocean imbibing.
