jameswolfe (103), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Aug 20, 2007 I was pretty disapointed with this. I thought their Wheat was an underrated gem. This however I wouldnt even consider an IPA. Tastes more like a good Pale Ale to me. The hops are there, but not very powerful. Good smooth finish though.
tjthresh (1315), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Sep 20, 2008 Pours dark copper with a stiff off white head that leaves a nice this ring of lace. Rich malty nose with some buttery notes. Plenty of pine hops as well. Lots of bread and butter flavors, and grapefruit hops. Strong, brash bitterness. Medium body with a bit of a slick mouthfeel. Prickly carbonation. Dry finish. Pretty average, but decent.
T2Tool (272), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Sep 19, 2008 Poured from a 12-oz bottle a hazy amber color with a nice fluffy white head. The aroma was faint of citrus. Beer had a hoppy taste of citrus and pines with a sweeter than expected finish. esjaygee (808), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Sep 18, 2008 On Tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest. Hazy amber with medium white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, grapefruit and mild sweet malt. Taste of citrus, grapefruit and burnt beer ingredients with an unbeneficial bitter finish. Not very balanced and the burnt qualities detract somewhat. Dastrn (66), Warsaw, Indiana, USA Aug 25, 2008 Pours an opaque caramel/amber with a massive frothy head.
Smelt sweetly of malt and hops, with orange peel, banana, and some floral aromas.
Taste was a rich balance of malt and hops, with a little orange and grass flavors peeking through.
Mouthfeel was lightly carbonated at the tip of the tongue, and smooth down the back.
Overall a great IPA if you don’t come into it expecting 100 IBUs. It’s a non-hophead’s IPA.
jezmez68 (281), Chesterton, Indiana, USA Aug 22, 2008 Nice, redish brown in color IPA. Good sized head poured into a pint. Nice balanced malt profile. Good hop finish, almost nut-like. Mouth smacking, but not heavy on the hop finish. Glad I got a sixer.
