An American hop assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the end. “Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess.” This iconic ale features a blend of four hop varieties which creates a crisp bitterness and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas.

3 pints on draft in Chicago over two days so assuming it was mighty fresh.
Classic IPA profile for my tastes - copper hue, thin bubbly head. Aroma of floral, citrus and a touch of malt. Yes, you heard me - malt. It’s beautiful. Balanced bitterness that’s present but doesn’t weigh the palate down. Standard bearer of the style.

On tap at the Indy airport in a pint glass.
It has a classic clear, brassy look with a creamy, but small white head.
Aroma is wonderfully strong grapefruit, crisp citrus, and a whiff of pine. There is some detectable malt and grain, but the hops star here.
Sweet, crisp, bitter, and just an absolute delight. I have not had this quality and style of IPA for some time. Firm bitterness countered by a modicum of caramel and light biscuit malt and a powerhouse of grapefruit.
Again, chef’s kiss on the medium, full, borderline gritty feel.
I see why this has such great reviews and wholeheartedly agree.

Dirty light gold in color; crystal clear big dense and fluffy, yet cohesive head that settles nice and slow.
Upon first whiff it’s a bright shot of pine laced with orange citrus; if you take the time to keep smelling the citrus becomes slightly more dominant, this is accompanied by a growing malty note, but remaining dominated by hops.
The taste is so pleasantly balanced; a true sum of it parts beer for me; abrasive yet restrained pine needle hits the tip of the tongue proceeding go coat it, slowly masked by orange peel, it’s got the orange character but with a bite, or maybe it’s just mixing with the pine quality…last to the fray is the malt that provides a nice canvas for those American hops to shine, lending just enough presence to give this a noticeable yet balanced malt quality.
Medium body; tongue pricking bitterness, pine through and through, very clean; highly drinkable IPA.
