289. Fat Head’s Brewery (Middleburg Heights, OH) - Head Hunter

“Head Hunter is an aggressively dry-hopped, West Coast-Style IPA with a huge hop display of pine, grapefruit, citrus and pineapple. A punch-you-in-the-mouth brew for those who truly love their hops! Uncivilized. Aggressive. Award-winning.”

And when the battery in your 14-year-old lawn mower is not equal to the task of cutting both your front yard and the front yard of the neighbors next door who never cut theirs, one of these bad boys is a damn-near-perfect way to kill some of the time it will take for the mower’s battery to recharge. The resin-y taste of pine is all over the place, but the delicate flavor of pineapple also manages to makes its presence known. At 7.5%, it almost begs to be compared head-to-head with Daredevil’s Lift Off—and that just might have to happen one of these days.
