Commercial Description:
Brewed exclusively for The Drafting Room. Figuring out how to differentiate this beer from the 10th Anniversary Ale became something of a challenge. “We liked last year’s formula so much, we were hesitant to meddle with the recipe,” Mullin offered. It was agreed, however, that the beer should change from year to year. Although the style once again remains a matter of some speculation, a new and unique hop, Palisade, will play an important role. Mullin explains, This hop walks the line between bittering and aroma with alpha acids just under 10%. It has a soft, clean finish with characteristics similar to Willamette.” Once again, Troegs will be “dry-hopping” the final product for an increased fresh, floral hop aroma. Additional hops include Tomahawk, Warrior and Cascade.

Pretty good IPA, had this on cask at the exton location. had a bit of a citrus subtle hop flavor and aroma, nothing too bold about the taste, but a nice brew.

Pours a clear copper color with a small but long lasting off-white head. The aroma was citrusy, mild grapefruit. Flavors were grapefruit, perfume, carmel, and some spices. Very good IPA.

Spring house. Pours a filtered clear amber with a nice white sticky and long lasting head. Aroma is very similar to troegs hopback but more intense with lots of citrus pine and a bit of mango/orange. Malty backbone for flavor with nice hops all around and a good not overpowering hop bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Very nice IPA.

Drafting Room, Springhouse, PA. Clear, deep copper body with a tight cottony white head that looks like marshmallow. Perfumy with a watery whiskey quality and an odd note of chlorine and soap. Medium sweet with a slightly stale malty character with medium bitterness. Comes across like an English bitter. Somewhat disappointing. There’s really nothing special about this.

Draught @ Exton: Smelled sweet with hints of cherry, vanilla, grapefruit, and citrus. Very hoppy scent. Clear and redish-brown in color with a creamy white head. Flavor was sweet but bitter and dry. Orange, grapefruit, and lemons were in the taste boquet. Medium body, thin texture. Lively carbination, bitter finish. Overall, not as good as the 10th A.
