Lake Cruiser Review
7.8% is enough to make you wait until after your Lake Winnipesaukee cruise has ended.

The wooden Lake Cruiser on the front of the can is a scene straight out of a Peter Ferber painting. We can thank North Hampton, NH based Rumbletree for the fine branding.
Twin Barns' write up on the Lake Cruiser feels a bit more fitting to another Double IPA with a similar flavor profile, Mighty Squirrel's Cosmic Distortion.
We don't feel confident in Twin Barns' boast of 7.8% being a "barn-wrecker". But, we will sign off on the smooth finish and full-bodied stature of their brew.
You'll detect some nectarine, some pineapple, and other hints of citrus as you lounge with this lakeside libation.
Brewery Notes. We amp our IPA up to 11 with this DIPA recipe- A Hazy, NE-Style DIPA incorporating rolled oats and aromatic malts to form the backbone of an 7.8% ABV barn-wrecker of a beer, with unrestrained hop character and deceptively smooth finish! Hop flavors of ripe Cantaloupe, Passionfruit, and Nectarines over a pillowy, full-bodied malt character.
