Hoppy Lacys Panty Dropper

Commercial Description:
The decorative sign over the bar was a purple and blue variation on the old Coppertone ads.

Lacy's Panty Dropper (LPD - aka Lodi's Police Department) resembles Ed's version of a La Fin du Monde. The malts used are basically Pale, Wheat, Caramel, and Extra Special malts, along with a goodly dose of rice in lieu of the more traditional Candi Sugar (which serves to boost the alcohol while keeping the body relatively light). A modest addition of Palisade hops (modest hops could be a theme for the coming year), and a hint of cardamom and star anise were tossed in to spice it up a bit. It is fermented with a robust Belgian high-gravity yeast. Alcohol by volume is a heart warming 9.0%.
