On tap at the CPRH. Here's the brewers description:
An IPA does not have to be full bodied and super hoppy to be enjoyed. This medium bodied offering packs enough zip to satisfy. We added Cascade hop pellets in the fermenter right before capping for some extra kick. Perfect for spacing away on the thin ice of a new day!
Malts: Premium Two Row
Hops: Nugget, Galena, Sterling, Cascade
OG: 1.063 TG: 1.013 ABV: 6.45 IBU: 72 SRM: 4

Pouring a mostly clear orange amber with a dense, off-white head with great retention and moderate lacing, this is a very pleasant looking IPA. The nose is decent. As the description suggests, this is moderately floral with a blend of pungent Nugget and grapefruity Cascades. A touch of soap is also present. A mild sweetness is also present. On the palate, however, it does fall apart. The hops are super soapy, with a blend of detergent, citrus and rather stale fruit. A little bit of chalk is also present. Medium-low in sweetness that again, brings to mind a stale sweetness, this beer is disappointing. Mildly sweet, mildly bitter and moderately soapy on the finish, this beer is medium in body and carbonated pleasantly enough. Meh.
