Commercial Description:
Brewed exclusively for The Drafting Room by our good friends at Troegs Brewing. 10th Anniversary Ale arrives with an abundance of hops, lots of warrior for bittering along with an impressive 3 other hop introductions with secret blends completed the boil. Twenty-five pounds in the hopback and an additional "dry hopping" in the keg round out a memorable flavor profile.

More old notes...pours a medium orangy/brown color body with a small tan head. Sweet clementine orange aroma. Flavors are orange, honey, mild grapefruit, and pine needle. Somewhat sticky palate. Incredible IPA.

(Cask Conditioned, Drafting Room, Exton, PA) Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a small beige head. Aroma of orange and pine. Nice balance of a variety of hops. Very smooth palate. One of the better IPAs I have sampled.

This came in a half-gallon growler jug courtesy of PisskyNights, many thanks to him. This poured out a clear dark amber color with good bubbling carbonation and a tall white head of foam peeking out of the glass. As the head receded down of a covering of bubbles it left good sheet of lace around the glass that clung to it for a while. Very pleasant aroma stirs from the glass with a nice blend of fruity sweet malts as well as a sharp citric hop smell. Definite notes of floral and piney hops as well mingle about to make this wonderful smelling brew. Quite the balanced nose as neither the malts nor the hops tend to dominate but at the same time both make their presence well known. Great flavor here with sweet caramel malt taste upfront followed by the citric piney bite of the hops. A nice crisp clean taste all around with a bitter finish, very tasty indeed. Mouthfeel is about medium with good carbonation. Obviously drinkability is not a problem with the entire growler being downed quite easily in one sitting and I wish I had more afterwards. A well-balanced and tasty IPA that I would highly recommend you try if you can get your hands on it.
