2.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Aroma hits you strong before anything else. Lots of barley - you can smell it from far away. Hop head heaven. Too bitter for me, but a strong representation for the style.

on tap at the Iron Horse Brew Pub in Missoula, Montana. A solid IPA... deep golden / amber color with a 1/4" head. Crisp with an average level of hops. Citrusy on the nose and slightly bitter through the finish. Overall, it could be a bit more aggressive, but that is my personal love of hops coming through. For the average IPA, it is one of the best.
