When I think of a good IPA, this is the beer I think of. It is what most IPAs strive for. Smooth, not too bitter, hoppy but not obtrusive, near perfection.

​Columbus IPA is a "very good, very solid" brew that could easily be the benchmark for the category. It’s the kind of beer you keep stocked in the man cave when you want something that delivers 100% of the time. If someone asks what a classic American IPA should taste like, hand them one of these. Cheers!

On tap at Huntington Park, home of the Columbus Clippers AAA baseball team. Medium to dark golden orange, some haze and very thick head with abundant lacing. Smells of pine and citrus, not floral. Tastes citrus hoppy, some malt, the alcohol is not very noticeable. Mouthfeel is wonderfully smooth. This beer reminded me of Bells Two Hearted in appearance and taste, maybe less malt though. It is a fine example of an IPA
