Tap at brewpub, Wichita, KS. Pours a solid amber with a nose of strong floral hops and grapefruit. Flavor is solid grapefruit with pine and a floral finish. Spreads evenly and assertively on the tongue. Refreshing IPA. Definite repeat next time I’m in Wichita.

MABR-Nice copper color,nicely hoppy aroma with a slight sweet side and citrus.The flavor was much the same as the aroma with the hops coming through very nicely not as strong as others i've had but this one was quite decent and well worth trying again.

Had this with Amanda on our way home from Cali when we stopped in Peoria Illinois. Nose of heavy spice and citrus. The brew is copper. The mostly diminishing white frothy head leaves fair lace. Wow! They are not fucking around with this one. Almost like a double IPA. Heavy duty boys here. The bitter front has a heavy acidic middle. The finish is spicy and bitter. The medium dry body is dry and very lively, the finish is very astringent.

Had at their St Cloud Mn location. A very good IPA. Has a deep dark cooper appearance - spongy white head with good lacing. Good grapfruit citrus aroma and bittersweet flavor - detect some Cascades in there. Best of my visit to Granite City - had a pint after the sampler.

The Cedar Rapids, IA location must have a better brewer... Pours to a glowing copper body with a thin white head. Nice color. The beer was served waaaaay too cold. The flavor is nice piney bitterness with a lightly biscuity malt and hints of buttered white bread. The palate is creamy, bitter, medium-bodied. The aroma is piney, oranges, simple malts. Not as bas as others are rating.
Had this again. Seemed to be much better.
