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.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a hazy deep golden with an off-white head. Sweet candy like aroma. Medium body, sugary sweet, a little caramellish, heavy fruit with a distinct bitterness. Not crisp in its hoppiness, malt forward and a little bonbonish yet fairly enjoyable. Some late bitterness. 030612

Served on draft at the Indianapolis tasting room. I see the ratings before me are lackluster so I wonder if they have bottling issues because what I had on draft was amazing. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized creamy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of bitter hops with resin, tropical and citrus notes. The taste is bitter citrus and resiny hops, pale malts and then more hops in the finish with a tropical vibe this time. Well balanced. Lingering bitterness. Very nice beer.

This brew is a clear amber color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Citrusy hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with a moderately hoppy character that has citrus and grass notes. The finish is hoppy with a short grapefruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Received in trade from TexIndy, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a slightly cloudy dark amber with ruby highlights and an off white head that sticks around for a bit. Smells of grassy, floral hosp and some grainy and caramel malt. Taste is floral hops followed by some grainy bready malts, an astringent taste finishing with a some more floral and citrus hops that linger on the pallet. High carbonation, medium body. sticky sweet mouthfeel. Not my favorite IPA by a long shot. Nothing special, and that astringency in the middle I could live without.

12oz bottle. Cloudy amber brown color, with a big, thick head. Some floaty action as well. Some solid astringent hops in the aroma, with some toffee and seawater as well. A pretty well done IPA. Relatively clean on the palate. The malt is quite smooth, but packs enough of a punch to stand up to the bittering hops. Leans towards a West Coast version with a touch of English character.

On tap at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured golden amber with a slightly off-white head. Aroma was very hoppy with an earthy pine aroma. Flavor was full of hops as well giving a flavor similar to the aroma.
