Sean McEmerson (seanislegend) enjoyed an [India Hells Lager](http://www.camdentownbrewery.com/indian-summer-lager/) by [Camden Town Brewery](http://www.camdentownbrewery.com). Camden Town's description: "We love Hells Lager and we love hoppy IPAs, so we decided to smash the two together and brew a new beer, an unfiltered lager that’s loaded with amazing American hops. It’s an India Hells Lager. The big, bold, citrusy hops of an American IPA combine with the clean simplicity that defines a great lager. This hop monster is dry hopped twice during it’s month in tank and served unfiltered, to retain more of that great hop flavour." (via Elixr | Discover Great Drinks)
