3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark copper body with a nice foamy beige head that had good staying power. The nose is nice green leafy hops with some subtle caramel maltiness. A little grainy maybe. The taste is pretty bitter up front at first, but once you get used to it it seems rather murky. Light leafy floral hops with a grainy crystal malt iced tea finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, a fairly run of the mill IPA, it didn’t stand out at all, and by the end of the bottle I actually got a bit tired of it.

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours copper with a nice off white head. Smells of resin, caramel, spice, some metallic hints. Tastes peppery and resiny with some sweet hints on the finish. Decent.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUL 2, 2009 Nice fluffy head with plenty of lace. There is a good citrusy hop aroma, flavor has very nice bitterness playing on fruity citrus like hoppiness. This has a little more cascade than I prefer, but it is very tasty and one of the best beers in Iowa no doubt.
