look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
22oz bottle poured into a pint, not bottle date

A- pours a hazy golden orange color with a one-finger foamy white head that sticks around for a while, lots of sediment settling to the bottom

S- nice mix of tropical and citrus hops with notes of mango, orange peel, grapefruit & pineapple. Underlying doughy malt

T- big blast of citrusy and tropical hop flavors up front with notes of mango, passionfruit, grapefruit and orange zest. Some grassy notes at the mid-palate, the finish is slightly malty sweet with a longer of more citrusy hops

M- medium body and carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns creamy into the finish, high drinkability

O- 100 IBU bit not overly bitter, nice citrusy hops mix, very good

Had a couple of 12 oz cans at The Asparagus, a top shelf restaurant in Merrillville IN. Great IPA! Pours a mostly clear copper color with a good sized light tan head with a few bands of lacing on the glass. Head retention is good. Aroma is both bready and caramel malts and piney hops. You know this will be a good one based on smell. Flavor is more of the same but with a citrus element (orange and grapefruit). Strong, outstanding taste. Mouthfeel is rich and bitter. You could say it is balanced, but balanced in the extreme - rich malt and pronounced bitterness both! Not much alcohol presence goes down nicely. This is a very enjoyable IPA.

Pours a beautiful copper color, with just the slightest bit of haze, and a soapy light tan head. Lovely beer. The nose has some piney notes, but the citrus aromas are more prominent with tangy tangerines at the forefront, and there's also a substantial malt component that adds some caramel flavors.

The taste is led by the tangerine flavors, which are substantial and really nice, and the malt flavor helps cut the bitterness really nicely. This leans toward the West Coast-style, I just wish the mouthfeel was a bit drier per that style.

Froths up initially to close to three fingers of semi-dense foam, very light tan to eggshell white color, retention is about where it should be, lacing is sparse though. Very viscous liquid, looks like puree, warm apricot orange to yellow color, somehow you can still see a few bubbles zipping upwards. Thick dankness to the nose, wet leafy matter, damp forest earth, almost to the point of decay, tar, pine sap, more yeasty than bready, a spoonful of honey helps to get the peach, nectarine to pineapple fruit scents above a whisper. Full-bodied, the carbonation works it hard but it remains too bottom heavy to do more than slog across the palate. The dank hops predominate here to but to a more reasonable extent. A bit of pink grapefruit sweetens it some, cocoa powder, peppery and the pine element more assertive. The pineapple, nectarine, peach fruit quiet and lacks length. For an IPA you expect more refreshing qualities and more general verve. Got tired drinking near the end of one 12 ounce bottle.

The name and aesthetic of this brewery seem to suggest their target market is middle age moms who go on the Kid Rock cruise: camo colors, with datura print that looks like bad tattoos. But whatever.

The beer was on tap at a Gary Rail Cats game, where Devil's Trumpet has their own booth. The woman told me that My Ghetto was their flagship and offered me a sip. It was pretty good, so I got a whole pint.

And that, my friends, is why you should never judge based on a taster pour. A full pint revealed the beer to be rather home brew-y: the hop profile was off: citrus bitterness at first, but then plastic and medicine in the back end. The beer's greatest fault, however, was its very weak body, which dragged down the middle and accentuated the hop's offness.

This might have been a bad batch. I dunno. It was pretty bad, though.

As an IPA fan I've drunk some 20 IPAs available here in Indiana. MY Ghetto, which I buy at Kahn's in Indianapolis, tops the list. I've been buying it for the past several months because there's nothing better. I can't imagine how BA can give it an 89.
My Ghetto completes well with this year's Hopslam which was excellent, and better than last year's. The other hoppy IPAs don't quite measure up to My Ghetto with respect to body, balance, and above all, TASTE. The people working at Kahn's drink it all the time, though they have the choice of everything else. They say the other Devil's Trumpet beers are good, but I'm more than content with My Ghetto, and shall have no reason to change for quite some time. It ranks far above the four other beers I rated in 2016.

Great beer. The finish is dry but the journey reminds me of traveling the tropics. The scent of passion fruit prevails and as soon this beer hits your tongue is surrounded by a tropical Paradise. It lays on your tongue like your in hammock on the beach. Great beer.
