This one packs a nice punch! Good flavour, big alcohol content, it doesn’t really feel like their other IPA, it does have some very nice body. Very nicely hopped.

Draft sampler at MBC. Dark amber color with a moderate white head that diminished slowly. Moderate hoppy aroma. Medium body with dry texture. Light hoppy flavor with a small bitter finish.

All Centennial hops makes for a nice hop aroma. Copper orange. Medium head with some lacing. Kind of grainy and grassy. Ample bitterness. Medium body. Basicly a Two Hearted knock-off.

Orange/amber pour with a light off-white head. Centennial hops provided most of the aroma, with a little caramelly sweetness behind it. Flavor followed the aroma very well, but the single hop variety kept this from being more complex and interesting. Finish carried through the caramel and piney hops, and was a bit sticky.

Nice deep gold color with Mishawaka’s creamiest off-white head. Aroma is haystacks, neglected grass fields, cedar and caramel. Much creamier than their other renditions. Smooth, and a reserved hop profile. How many IPAs neglect the hops and favor the malts? Other elements include basement paneling, moth balls and spring cleaning. Decent, but an IPA? I’m not so sure.
