By far my favorite Beer by the Mad Brewer. Like most craft beers some batches are better than others, and this last batch reminded me of my first Hop Fusion which was excellent. The batch before this one lacked something. Anyways, great Hoppy flavor, well rounded citrus. Not too bitter. Yet flavorful. Look forward to the next batch.

Draft at Brew Keeper. Poured hazy copper with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy and small malt aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture. moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium smooth bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. A standout beer.

Bomber via trade with miketd. Pours orange with a 1finger tan head. Nose is nicely hopped with a nice touch of sweetness. Taste is sweet, hoppy and balanced with a nice sweetness. This is a tasty very drinkable east coast IPA.

On tap at cats eye during ohio brew week. Poured a darker color for what i thought was an ipa. Had a solid aroma of hops and a decent caramel malt backgroud. A pretty solid beer.

Bomber bonus from miketd. Thanks Mike! Pours a darkish amber with medium offwhite head. Malt forward IPA. Pleasant bitterness. Very easy to drink. Wonderful.

This has a nice mandarin orange aroma from the hops and a nice malt backbone. Really drinlable IPA.
