COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Named for the Comanche chief Potsanaquahip of the Penataka band, this fierce IPA remains true to the American brewing spirit, delivering lasting hop flavor and character. Buffalo Hump led the Great Raid of 1840 in retaliation for the Texan settlers’ betrayal under a white flag in San Antonio at the Council House Fight. Brewed w/ Franco-Belge Pale malts, hopped with four full-blooded varieties of American hops and fermented w/ our favorite Belgian strain. 55 IBU

drowland (3901) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - FEB 24, 2012
2/24/12. On tap at the brewery during RBWG 2012. Slightly hazy copper/orange pour with a small khaki head. Funky aroma of Belgian yeast, sweet citrus, and a touch of plasticky phenolics. Sweet caramel entry that shows a combination of citrus, caramel, Belgian yeast, esters, phenolics, and even chocolate. Not bad.

bleeng (1133) - Houston nowhere near Beersel, Texas, USA - NOV 3, 2011
Tap at brewpub. Bright clear gold with a small lacy white head. Nose is moderate hop profile. Taste is very smooth with a nice bitter taste. Belgian yeast tames this beast a bit. Alcohol is barely evident. Well done!
