Reigning Purple is a purple-in-color IPA brewed on grape skins. The hops bring a fruity front note to the grapes that settles into a subtle wine-like aftertaste. The brew's inspiration comes from the famous Viking chieftain Bjorn, who lead his charges on raiding parties. Bjorn captured his opponent's resources (grapes in our case) to continue his marauding quests.
The best thing this beer has going for it is its reference to the MN Vikings and Prince of course. It has a decent fruit/sour taste. It's not too powerful but could use just a hint…
