COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed as a medium India Pale Ale, this full-flavored moderately hopped beer has the strongest hop character of our ales. Made for hopheads and new beer aficionados. The grist composition is 94% Pale malt, with the remaining grain bill consisting of carastan malts. The finishing Mt. Hood hop addition in the whirlpool gives this beer a good hop character without becoming excessively bitter. The beer is fined instead of filtered so the hop character is not stripped away.

Sampler at Arlington brewpub. Comes medium amber with a small white head. Aroma of hops, malt, and citrus. Taste is floral hops, piney hops, citrus, and malt. A bit off.

Mostly clear copper color. Lasting white head. Funky dank malt aroma. Bitter taste with a little bit of pine and citrus. Just weird overall.

Very nice IPA. Almost some red ale notes in there - some of that caramel malt on the start with a nice mouthful of hops. Sweet citrus finish. One of my favs from The Ram! Recommended if you go!

Pours light amber with small white head. Aroma is faint notes of fruity citrus hops. Taste is caramel with a hint of citrus and light bitterness. Very light body. Just not a good representation of the style at all.

This is my beer of choice (if I’m not a fan of the available seasonal) when I go to the Ram. Pours a nice clean read, with a white head. Nose has a touch of malt and citric hops. Taste is crisp, dry, citric, and woody. A very approachable and tasty brew.

(draft 7/20/11 at CB & Potts Highlands Ranch). Clear copper color. Medium off white head. Moderate sweet bready malt aroma. Sweet bread/caramel flavor, with light floral and citrus hops. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.
