About this beer

LiamBru Ale Co.’s Van Wicked is a New England India Pale Ale boasting an ABV of 6% by volume. The story etched onto the label speaks of a deal with the devil for a wellspring of mineral-rich water, suggesting the importance of water source to this brew’s character. The beer itself presents a hazy appearance and a flavor profile hinting at tropical fruit and citrus, leaning toward a softer bitterness than traditional IPAs. The label artwork depicts a striking, somewhat macabre portrait of a man with horns and glowing eyes, set against a dark background with evocative text, further emphasizing the folklore theme.

Brewed in Vermont, this one-pint can emphasizes the notion that “beer is better in the mountains,” referencing the location’s role in the story and the brewing process. The beer is crafted with two-row barley, and relies on a generous dry-hopping schedule to cultivate its aroma and flavor, although specific hop varieties are not listed on the can.
