Clear golden-orange with a tall head that drops to a thick, tight-bubbled mass, leaving behind plenty of webby lace. Very pleasant but light hoppy aroma - a balanced mixture of citrus and pine as well as hints of melon, pepper, and caramel. Suprisingly, the first taste to hit my tongue is a fair amount of toasted grain. Its pretty light overall...grapefruit, orange peel, oily hops. Light bodied with a solid bitterness.

A pleasant, sessionable IPA. Well made, but thin overall.

Very nice IPA. Billed as a Midwest IPA, this one pours copper colored from the can. A slight haze and a finger of rocky foam. Aromas of pine and citrus rind, some floral notes. Flavor is is pure pine resin, sharp grapefruit, and orange. Clean finish.

Had on tap. Cloudy amber pour with a finger of off-white foam. Piney hops, mild grapefruit, orange make up the nose. Taste follows the nose with biscuit and slight herbal nature to the finish, mild but lasting. Medium bodied and decently crisp, has decent hop texture and flow. A fine ipa to have with pizza

12oz can, date stamped 1/7/19 however it has been refrigerated the entire time. I lt has been about 8-10 years. Hazed copper colored IPA with a frothy beige head. Aroma is caramel malt, bread crust, earthy pine, and mild citrus. Nice balanced flavors of pine, grapefruit, and orange, some spicy bitter hops, and a malt backbone of caramel and bread crust. Full body, resinous, moderate carbonation, and a bitter finish. Always a solid old-school IPA. Nice to finally come back to after all these years.
