good hop flavor not too strong but apparent. citrus flavors in a bit of chalk therefore a touch dry yet other fruit in evidence. bit of floral the beer is dark brown and red and has a decent aroma of hop and citrus fruit. soft easydrinking palate.

UPDATED: AUG 31, 2011 On tap at Valhalla w Andy and Streets. Faint hoppy scent and a similar taste. Smooth but somewhat watery. Hard to pinpoint a defining flavor (maybe citrus?). Not very bold in terms of flavor with subdued hoppiness for an IPA, but balanced and extremely drinkable. Almost more like a lager, but I liked this.

tap at the Blind Tiger. A dark-looking IPA. Really nice floral character, citrus and pine. Medium body and smooth with nice, light carbonation. Maybe not bitter enough for an IPA, actually, but drinkable and nice.

Tasted at the 6th Annual Triple Rock Firkin Fest on 4/4/2009. This IPA pours a medium gold color from the firkin. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is citrusy hops and fruity malts. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are citrus and grapefruit. Nice soft carbonation. Decent balance. Medium bitterness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
