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.

Poured a light amber color out of a growler with aromas of ripe sweet fruits, passion, orange, mango and apricot. Taste is freakin fantastic. Great balance of sweet malts blending nicely with bitter hops. I loved this stuff.

///Growler straight from the brewery/// Poured into an impeiral pint glass with considerable (and sexy) head which lace its way down the glass as if it was afarid to let go of the sides. Nice gold-orangeish hue, with a plesant floral/fruity aroma. The Beautifully rigd malt prescense seemed to compliment well with the seemingly neverending hop prescence... this brew left me thristing for more. Perhaps I will stop by and get another growler while i still can.

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.

Orange-copper, bubbly off-white head. Very hoppy nose. Flavor has a simply beatific hop/malt balance, perfume and citrus, sweet and hoppy. Palate great, sticky and malty, coats the mouth beautifully. This rocks.
