Commercial Description:
This flavorful beer is made in the style of the India Pale Ale Style originally manufactured in Great Britain for their colonies in India, but with an American twist. The harsh travel that the beer had to survive required a strong, hoppy beer. The Hops and the high level of alcohol helped buffer the beer through its long travels. Made with flavorful and full bodied Pale Ale malt combined with a touch of caravienne for color and carapils for body, the rich flavor of this beer is matched and enhanced by a very generous portion of Centennial and Cascade hops. The Cascades give this beer its distinctive floral aroma and a uniquely American character.
O.G. - 14.5/1058. Hops - 48.5 IBUs.

This is my favorite India Pale Ale from a brewpub. Terrific odor, appearance, and flavor, this is worth the trip to Lawrence if you’re in the area.

God, I love this beer; it’s my staple brew whenever I’m at Free State. Excellent hoppy beer, with a nice Cascade-y flavor and aroma and a fantastic color. I dread the day I ’ll have to live without it.

At the brewpub ... Pure copper color. Metallic hoppy aroma and flavors. Nice malt underpinings. This is a nice pale ale.
