I brought home a growler from my latest trip to Red Eye this weekend. Just pulled it out of the fridge, opened it up, and poured it into my Lakefront pint glass.
L: Pours a clear golden straw color, with about an inch of white head that sticks around for a couple of minutes and leaves nice lacing on the glass. Moderate lazy visible carbonation.
S: Nice hoppy bouquet on this one: there are notes of grapefruit, stone fruit, and a bit of pineapple to go along with a definite pine presence. All of these play above a cracker malt base.
T: Cracker/biscuit malt at the front end, just a touch on the sweet side. The hop flavors are immediately present, with pine and grapefruit zest as the two most prominent. In the middle, there's a bit more of the fruitiness that develops, including the stone fruit and pineapple from the nose. This one begins to get tart in the middle, and this develops into a definite bitter from the hops at the close--it's predominantly resinous, though I can still get some of the grapefruit zest. Nice flavor.
F: This one is medium-bodied. It's effervescent/creamy, tart, and bitter in turns--plenty of bitter on the close. It's got some stick to it, but I wouldn't characterize it as syrupy.
O: This is probably my favorite of the staple brews that Red Eye makes. This one brings a lot of bright flavors, but don't look for the malts to steal any attention from the hops. I think this actually drinks quite a bit like Two Hearted, but with a much more pronounced fruity hop taste. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you make it to Red Eye.

On tap at the brewery. Just an average IPA. What you typically get at a local taphouse. More malty and bitter than fruity and hoppy.

A decent IPA, drinkable, but no fireworks here.
