Commercial Description:
The Upland Dragonfly IPA is a malty and hoppy brew. Note the clean malty fullness on the front of the palate with fruity citrus overtones, attributable to our special hops. Dry hopping creates a floral aroma, and our use of bittering hops lends a strong bitter taste in the back of the tongue and throat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
