Commercial Description:
Big Hop IPA – the first of the brews from Pittsburgh’s newest and MICRO-est microbrewery to hit the streets. Truly, a hopped-up American IPA with loads of Centennial and Cascade hops, and just barely enough malt backbone to balance it out. Our flagship brew.

On tap at Pittsburgh Westin Fish Market. Pour was cloudy, deep golden. Persistent head. Aroma of big earthy, citrus hops, fresh malt. Taste is awesome! Palate very smooth, nice hop "bite". Medium light body. Beautifully balanced hops to malt. Wish I had picked up a few growlers to take home!

Cloudy copper body with a white head. Smells grassy and bitter with a sweet malt back. Creamy smooth palate. Bitter resiny hops with a sweet caramel undertone.

This hazy amber pour smells great. Very nice citrus orange smells. The flavor is much more mild but very nice. It was smooth and just bitter enough.

Poured from a growler picked up at the brewery. Opaque, cloudy amber pour with a tiny, but attractive, head (growler is to blame for that). Nice aroma for the style, hits with less hop than I expected, more balanced toward with citrus and fruit, especially for an IPA. A well crafted pint.

golden appearance with thick mouthfeel, flavor is odd for a ipa with a bitter hop flavor that is rather annoying. not great
