Commercial Description:
"Crystal malt and an abundance of cascade hops gives this brew a sharp red hue and a hoppy floral character. This is an excellent American IPA"

at the brewpub, wisps of white on top of a pale gold, aroma is pungent, as it almost makes my nose crinkle. flavor was weak and watery, little or no body and just not a very good example of the type.

Ligh amber/orange color. Definately taste and smell those cascades stronger than I expected. Pretty good ipa(but I still came for the imp. st.).

Fairly decent IPA that when compared to the other offering of the brew pub truly stands out. Not a good thing. Mediocre hoppiness at the nose and on the palate was non existent. Just didn’t taste very fresh and I found this beer to be a little watery as well.

Auburn. IPA nose, hoppy and citric. Hoppy and dry, not much citrus in the taste, just plain bitterness. Fizzy. Eh.
