COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This IPA pushes the boundaries (BJCP American IPA top-7.5% ABV/70 IBU) and delivers what you would expect. This aggressively hoped IPA awakens the senses with aromas of citrus, fruit, and pine but will bombard your taste buds (with hops, a subtle malt sweetness and notes of caramel) that will put a smile on your face. Available for a limited time on draft.

Formerly known as Hop Prop IPA.

Pours a dark, golden-yellow, with little in the way of head. Strong hop-pine nose. Flavor is dominated by the piney-bitter hops, with citrus notes and some subtle, underlying malt sweetness. Nice, clean mouthfeel with bitter hop finish. This is a strong IPA.

nuplastikk (3286) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 20, 2013
12oz bottle. Hazy unfiltered orange-tan body. Foamy off-white head. Strikes me as a classic American IPA..big bold NW hops tones, rich body, crystal malt tones. Orange, grapefruit, mango..lots of hop depth. Solid offering.

JorgeLee (721) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 11, 2013
On tap at Pracna on Main, Minneapolis. Bright amber colour with a gentle carbonation. Very appetising hoppy smells, pine, hint of citrus, more floral and pine in a long bitter finish. Went well with food, somehow the hoppiness got enhanced. A pretty good effort.

Golden and lemony, has a nice tartness but not as hoppy as advertised. Would have another though.

djroehler (154) - Minnesota, USA - APR 2, 2013
Pour is golden amber with a very light haze and no head. Lemon and vanilla aroma. Starts off lemon sweet, shifts to a pine bitterness with vanilla maltiness, finishes with resiny sweetness with a metallic note that is odd. Medium light body, light carbonation.

crowderm (367) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 28, 2013
On tap. Nice reddish gold pour. Aroma hits most of the hop spectrum, from citrus to pine. The flavor centers a little more heavily on the pine/resin side, with a solid malt backbone to balance things out. All around a very solid IPA, and probably my favorite offering yet from Lift Bridge.

RobertDale (1900) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - FEB 24, 2013
12 ounce bottle. Thanks Jeffrey! Pours a golden orange with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma of citrus, florals, and malt. Taste is grapefruit, oranges, lemons, florals, pine, and caramel malt. Pretty good.

khoffman43 (851) - Bloomington, Minnesota, USA - FEB 4, 2013
Bottle. Pours a mostly clear copper with a little white head. Aroma is citrusy hops with a taste that matches. Nice citrus and floral hops up front followed by a little well-placed bitterness. Greatly exceeded my expectations.

burgy (361) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - DEC 28, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 27, 2013 Aroma is light and citrus filled. Appearance is golden rod and low off white head. Taste has a bitter characteristic to it. Lots of pine coming in. Palate is low to medium body. Overall, not bad it competes with the locals and some of the big boy IPA’s. I like it a lot.

Dark orange color with a small head. Light citrus aroma. Candied orange flavor with light floral notes. Moderate bitterness.
