Canned 11/22/19; drank 12/29/19 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big white head; thick, frothy lace.

Pine, wheat, orange citrus & caramel notes in the nose.

Sticky medium mouthfeel.

Pine & orange citrus flavors up front; sticky caramel notes on the finish.

There's a reason we've moved on from this style of IPA; it's not that pleasant.

Hey! Hey Flap! Midwest IPA! Thanks Joe!

This Midwest IPA looks like the beautiful IPAs of old. Burnt blazing orange with minimal floaties and a spitty whit foam that retains lightly and applies spots of lace.

Even smells classic with a two tone approach of heavy citrus and pine. But, uh-oh... Is that a touch of butter?

Yup. It's a touch of butter, but not bombed by any means. In fact, it's almost like a by product of a light caramel time. Other than that, your classic flavors of grapefruit rind and a pinch of pine.

Lightly rich (oxymoron), smooth, and balanced. Barely hugs the bitter side of the spectrum.

Reminds me quite a bit of Kern River, Just Outstanding minus the toasted sesame. A pretty nice IPA, but could use some minor refinement. Cheers.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 28, 2019. Brewed with Amarillo, Citra, CTZ and Simcoe hops. Fermented cooler with a more neutral English Ale yeast. Very good west coast style.
