Oaken Barrel Superfly I.P.A.

From a growler from mamabeer and husband. Light brown body with ample beige head. Citrus hops, caramel malt in the nose. Gentle carbonation, medium bodied. Taste was crisp and clean and refreshing with citrus hops bitterness tempered only slightly by the caramel malt. A very satisfying drink.

clear amber, thin fine dirty white head, thick drippy lace, big sweet grapefruit aroma, rich caramel malt flavor with lots of the citrus grapefruit flavor, touch of dyactyl in the background adds distraction as it slowly builds

Thanks to hopdog for sharing this growler. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a smaller bubbly white head that left some lacing. Aroma of a handful of hop pellets, lots of pine, grapefruit, some caramel malt hidden in there. Flavors of fresh hops, pine, grapefruit, some floral, caramel malt and a nice malt bitterness.

Growler acquired in trade with Sephiroth (big thanks for shipping a Growler out!). Poured a medium and cloudy orange color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, light pine, and had a fresh green hoppiness to it. Tastes of citrus and had that fresh green hoppiness to it. Grapefruit bitter finish. Lots of lacing left on the glass. Light to medium bitterness.

Draft - big grassy hop nose. Orangey colored with a nice beige head. I found this beer to be very straight-forward and quite one-dimensional. Okay, but far from great.
