(On tap at Draught House on June 28, 2008) Little/no head. Lightly carbonated. Semi-syrupy look. Amber/orange color. Very hoppy aroma, that’s it really. Taste is very pretty hoppy, not too west-coastish but very stisfying all the same. Thing with IPAs is you can only (usually) taste/smell hops... so, not much to report - nothing extraordinary. Palate is slick and easy. No aftertaste. Light body with a medium-thick hoppy malt on the back of the tongue. Pretty good for a Texas IPA

Aug 17, 2008 Updated: Aug 18, 2008I was extremely impressed with this one. My first impression was that it almost smells and feels like a lager. Must have fermented in low temperatures. This was definentely one of the lower IBU IPAs I actually like. This great beers pours a hazy golden color with a relatively small white head. Not one of the hops overpower each other. Very well balanced and quite mild for the kind of hops used. The aroma is a little fruity and floral and the flavor tastes like it smells. Nice light hop flavor lingers for a while. Quite a refreshing and extremely smooth IPA. The best from Real Ale by far. Thanks Real Ale.
The Lord bless the hop harvest!

Aug 14, 2008 Typical IPA aroma w/ lots of floral hops. Good malt profile before hops kick in. Almost too sweet, but good enough. Most IPAs are too concentrated on the hops side; this one gets bonus points for having a good malt profile in addition to a solid hop character.

Aug 14, 2008 (Draft at Alamo Drafthouse-Lake Creek) Served in shaker- very nice one finger white head with HEAVY lacing with each sip, turbid tan/copper in appearance. Aroma of hops, citrus, and a note of grapefruit. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, malt is extremely pleasant and enjoyable, hops come in the middle with notes of sweetness in the background as they took me away to a magical place- very well balanced overall and hard not to have the whole drink in less than 5 minutes. The big question- is this better than... Two Hearted? My opinion- you’d better keep one eye open late at night Larry and pray Real Ale doesn’t make this on a regular basis!!!
