Citrus, Floral, Earthy, Balance
Hazy gold in color, Tower Station introduces itself with a massive fluffy head that lasts forever. Dried citrus fruits, floral notes and a trace of grass show up in the nose. Malty with a sweet orange-iness that's slightly juicy and chewy, Mother Road’s year-round IPA also has herbal and earthy undertones that linger into the finish alongside a dry doughiness. Hop flavors of pine and grapefruit pith seem to stick to the palate, too. Overall, this is good IPA that’s defined by its balance and distinctive flavor.

Can from the brewery poured into glass at Zion Wildflower. West Coast IPA, piney and delicious.

Pours golden semi clear with fast fading bright white foamy cap that sticks to sides of pint glass on draught. Malty piney notes with citrus pineapple and orange peal. Crisp and cold, good standard HOPPY IPA without the fluffy favor adds at 7.3% ABV.
Hoppy hour at The Social on 83rd in Peoria with the cousins!

A: Light amber with 1-finger light beige foamy head with good retention and solid bands of lacing.
S: Old school WCIPA aromas of light caramel, pine, grapefruit, and light herbal character.
T: Flavor is moderate-intensity with light caramel malt fading to pine, grapefruit, orange, with light herbal, spicy notes. Bitterness is moderate in intensity and it is free of esters.
M: Clean with a dry finish and medium body.
O: Tower Station is a solid old school WCIPA with a lighter caramel touch and classic C-hop hop presentation.

Poured on tap at Bottega Michelangelo into a pint glass. Great crispy/hoppy taste. Quite fresh and delicious! Much better than from a can.
