Brewed as a medium India Pale Ale, this full-flavored moderately hopped beer has the strongest hop character of our ales. Made for hopheads and new beer aficionados. The grist composition is 94% Pale malt, with the remaining grain bill consisting of carastan malts. The finishing Mt. Hood hop addition in the whirlpool gives this beer a good hop character without becoming excessively bitter. The beer is fined instead of filtered so the hop character is not stripped away.

On tap at the Ram Brewing Boise, ID. Pours out a nice amber topped with a white head. A nice aroma of hops and citrus. But the tast was a let down not to hoppy like i wanted it to be. O well.

Amber ale with plenty of hopiness. A pleasant citrus afermath (grapefruit, I decided) from the hops. Very drinkable.

On Tap at The ram / Boise Clear medium redish amber with a modest sized off-white head. Nice lacing and the sharp citrusy aroma exptected. Flavor was mostly the hops and I thought lacked the full malt body to accompany it. Carbonation was a bit soft.

From a sampler at the Indy location: Pours a reddish-amber color with a medium light beige head. Thin lacing. The aroma is moderately hoppy with some citrus as well. The body is not too rich. The flavor is nicely hopped at first but it drops off dramatically by the end. The finish is decent, with a mixture of floral and citrusy hops. A little better than average overall.

At the Festival they called it IPA, and it certainly seemed to be one.Citrus hop nose. Good grapefruit hop profile. Not sure I had the same beer as most of the other ratings.

Sampled draught at Humperdinks, Dallas, Texas.
Reddish amber. Intensely hoppy nose with notes af aromatic oils, flower and citrus. Not much malt there to balance it, but considering the poor malt structure of the other beers at this brewery probably it's a good thing that the pleasant hop flavours just lingers on into a long bitter finish and bypasses the (lack of) body. I quite enjoyed this beer.
