Clean amber pour with smallish white head. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, grass and some herbal notes. Flavor is very well balanced: some herbal lemony notes and toasty malts. Sweet malts complement the bittering hops, but never overpowering. Palate is smooth and full for the style. An excellent example of the style.

On tap. pours a clear deep golden with an off-white head. Very fresh - almost perfumy - peachy and piney hop accents. Medium body with sweet malts and fruit, and again a solid aroma hoppiness that leaves a great and balancing bitterness. A perfect IPA. 070709

Tap at Brouwers.

Deep golden pour, juicy hop aroma. Grassy (euro) flavors, very hoppy but not resinous -- is the Tomahawk doing the work here? Slightly grainy, slightly sweet, bitter grainy pith on the long end. After hearing this one talked up so much, it was good not but quite all I’d hoped for.

7/18/2009: FW Union Jack has a mostly transluscent gold-colored appearance. It has a last big and foamy off-white head. It has a toffee maltiness paired wtih a grapefruit hoppiness. Overall this is a balanced, smooth, and sessionable standard IPA, but nothing particularly unique.

Draught sample(s) at the 14th Annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rating #247 for this beer.

This is a nice IPA with exceptional qualities. A big hoppy presence intertwined with a balanced malt backbone. A solid IPA.

Bottle: The aroma consists of tropical fruits, citrus hops, and light caramel. It pours a slightly hazy amber with a small soapy white head. The flavor starts with moderate tropical fruits and light pineapple. The finish has moderate orange presence and citrus hops. Medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Nice amber color with a dense white head. Aroma is citrus, sweet and hoppy, some floral notes. Flavor is balanced between bitterness and some sweet stuff in there. Mouthfeel is bitter and longer enough..

22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a fluffy off white head that leaves a nice bit of lacing. Huge aroma of citrus fruity, pine and flowers. Starts sweet and then the bitterness comes on and leaves a long bitter finish. Malty medium body that is almost syrupy but cut nice with an active carbonation. The alcohol is completely hidden. Very good IPA.
