Draft at Calumet. Hazy orange-tan. Big foamy white head. Wow, what an asstastic IPA. Full of butterscotch off tones, flat out off and bad. Gross butterscotch all the way. Disturbingly bad, the worst IPA I’ve ever had. Congratulations.

On draught at the Calumet brewpub in Chilton, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear amber brown colored brew with an average off-white head that has some excellent lacing. Aroma of ale yeast, caramel malt and plenty of butterscotch. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of caramel malt, butterscotch, tart apple and green vegetables. Finish is semi-dry, yeasty and has a mild lingering grassy bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub, pours a clear reddish orange with not much of a head. Sweet floral hop aroma. Taste is initially bitter, balanced out by floral hops that arrive next. Overall grassy and dry, but pretty good.
