4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very West Coast style IPA. So many hops that I thought this was a DIPA. Pours a bright orance with a pencil thin white head. Aroma is all hops, lots of pine and tons of citrus fruit. Grapefruit, lemon, orange. Flavor is sharp, lots of zesty hops; grapefruit, pine, grass, lemon, all with a nice hoppy bite. No yeast, and just a touch of malt...this one is all hops. Delicious.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This draft brew from the brewery poured a large sized head of frothy off-white colored bubbles that were and left behind a uncarbonated transparent dark orange colored body. The strange aroma contained cinnamon. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a biting hoppy aftertaste. The strong flavor contained notes of hops. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

decent IPA, thanks Jon. Cloudy golden with a bubbly head. Some hops in aroma. Smooth drinker with a decent citrus taste. Understated carbonation. enough bitterness to bea tad astringent and an aftertaste of apple juice and orange juice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft: Pour was light copper with a medium-sized white head. Sticky, sweet pineapple, grapefruit and some pine noted in the nose along with some light roasted malts. Full body, very viscous and lingering...flavor was mainly grapefruit and pineapple with some subtle pine and toasted malts along for the ride. Good brew.

On tap at the Brewers of Indiana Guild Winterfest. Pours a hazy amber no head. This one is just a bunch of candied citrus and piny hop all in the nose and flavor. Just a smidgen of a malt not. Very easy to drink. Really good stuff.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the brewpub: This poured a light golden amber, somehat hazed, with a tall bubbly head and loads of lace. The aroma was all sbout the strong PNW hopping - zest of lemon, yellow grapefruit, hints of earth and pine, and a touch of the catbox. At the base of the flavor was a sweet grainy malt and just a bit of caramel. The bitterness from the hops carried the show, however, and lingered through the long dry finish. Very nice.
