Rod J Beer Review: Talking Frankenmuth Batch 69 American IPA

Ah, what we do without friends? And my friends recently made a trip to Frankenmuth, Michigan, and they happened to bring me back the Batch 69 American IPA from the Frankenmuth Brewery. This IPA comes in at 6.9% ABV and 69 IBU, hence the name I am going to assume. The beer pours out a nice golden yellow-orange color that is capped by a nice foamy and rocky white head. The aroma is led by pine note and is then quickly followed up with citrus. The taste provides a mouthfeel that makes this medium body beer very thirst quenching and refreshing.

Check my video to find out more of my thoughts on this one and if it is one to be chosen.
